<br />Mr, DOYLE. Mr. Speaker. the follow-
<br />Ing letter from my ):oung man frlt!nd.
<br />Bob. dated September 22. le45. was for-
<br />warded me the other day by his mother.
<br />Bob Is known to b(' one of the most able,
<br />ambitJous young men In the communIty.
<br />,\s thls letter to his mother makes some
<br />prett)" definite and specific statements of
<br />~uch a citizen-still serving us tn unl-
<br />form on foreign shores-I commend It to
<br />your attention.
<br />I ha\'e !laid It before-I repeat that the
<br />results of war are hellish and destructive
<br />['nouRh-without us being slothful on the
<br />Job of seeing to It that these 01 oo),s are
<br />receiving their due respect. whale\'er Is
<br />reasonably necessary to Pf'rmit them, as
<br />promptly as possible. to reenter thelr edu_
<br />cational program and to press forward
<br />and to gt't through it at the earllpst prae-
<br />tlcal date. I am In ta\'or ot Increasing
<br />the amount of the GI blll for educatlonal
<br />nch'antages to a reMonable polnt at
<br />whleh the)' feel they Rre beln!;l encour-
<br />Ill'wd to romplt>l(' th..;r f'durallon; In an
