Dear Councilmember Rettman:
VVe underst�and that the St. Paul City Council will hold an open hearing
on the proposed private club discrimination ordinance. Unfortunately,
I will not be able to attend the hearings since I will be in Washington,
D.C. from March 4 through 8, 1989 attending hearings to restore the
Veterans Administration Health Care Budget Cuts.
I would appreciate if you would express my concerns over the proposed
ordinar�ce s7nce the wording for discrimination might be so broad that it
would affect the veterans organizations in the City of St. Paul.
Tlze federally chartered Veterans Organizations, namely, The American
Legion, Disable American Veterans, Marine Corps League, AMVETS, and
Veterans of Foreign Wars, all have their membership requirements spelled
out by Federal Charter, authorized by the U.S. Congress.
The American Legion requires an honorable military discharge and service
during cert�in wartime dates. The Disabled American Veterans requires
an hon�orable military discharge and a service connected disability. The
Marine Corps Leagues requires an honorable military discharge and service
in the Unite,d States Marine Corps. The AMVETS requires an honorable
military disc�harge and service after the start of World War II. The
Veterans of Foreign Wars requires an honorable military discharge in
addition the applicant must have overseas service and qualified for a
Combat, Expeditionary or Occupation Service Medal or Ribbon.
None of the organizations discriminate against an applicant because of
race, sex or creed. Applicants must be citizens of the United States
have had � served in the Armed Forces of the United States.
