SCHAKOWSKY COSPONSORS LEGISLATION TO PROVIDE LONG OVERDUE BENEFITS TO WW II FILIPINO VETERANS

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) announced that she has cosponsored the bipartisan Filipino Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 1999, HR 1594. The legislation will help end an injustice that has lasted for more than 50 years.

The Philippine Commonwealth Army was called up by President Roosevelt in July of 1941. Under this order, Commonwealth Army forces were eligible for full U.S. veterans' benefits. However, following the war, Congress overturned President Roosevelt's order by passing the Rescissions Act 1946.

SCHAKOWSKY JOINS WOMEN DEMOCRATS TO DENOUNCE GOP FOR STONEWALLING GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION "IT IS INEXCUSABLE TO DELAY"

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Representative Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) today joined women Democratic House members to oppose Republican stonewalling of common sense gun safety legislation.

Schakowsky expressed disappointment that Speaker Hastert (R-IL) will not appoint conferees before the July 4th recess, even though he promised to do so following the debate and vote on the juvenile justice bill earlier this month.
