By Johnny Griffin, Editor
On Nov. 2, 42 members of
The American Legion met
with the 12 senators and rep-
resentatives who comprise
the Joint Congressional Deficit
Reduction Committee, com-
monly called the “supercom-
mittee” to express the orga-
nization’s views and concerns
about the deficit reduction
plan when it comes to matters
of national security and veter-
ans benefits.
