July 20, 2004 Mr. Robert , Apartment 9 Hayward Dear Mr.: Thank you for writing to me about a woman's right to choose and the Department of Defense Authorization (S. 2400). I appreciate hearing from you on this important issue. In previous years, Senators Murray and Snowe have offered amendments to the annual Department of Defense Authorization to restore access to privately-funded abortion services for U.S. servicewomen at overseas military health facilities. This year, this amendment was not offered. In the past I have voted in favor of this amendment because I believe that women serving in the military overseas should have the same access to health services available in the United States. Please know that I will keep your comments in mind should this issue be considered in the future. Again, thank you for writing to me. If you have further concerns, please do not hesitate to contact my Washington, DC office at (202) 224-3841. Sincerely yours, Dianne Feinstein United States Senator http://feinstein.senate.gov Further information about my position on issues of concern to Ca and the Nation are available at my website http://feinstein.senate.gov.
