Maria,
                                    
                                    First of all, thank-you for your e-mail, and apologies for the delayed
                                    response.
                                    
                                    At the moment no personnel of the 1st or 2nd Filipino Regiments are listed
                                    in the Project PRIAM database.  As I have been unable to find no MIA
                                    records specifically for either of these regiments on the American Battle
                                    Monuments Commission (ABMC) database, I have not been able to add such
                                    missing personnel to the database.
                                    
                                    I am unable to confirm whether there are any personnel listed in the
                                    Project PRIAM database that were born in the Phillipines.
                                    
                                    If you have any details regarding Filipino MIAs, please feel free to
                                    forward these details to me, and I will attempt to add that information
                                    ASAP.
                                    
                                    Also note that the Project PRIAM database is currently maintained and
                                    updated by one person.  The database currently includes personnel from the
                                    USA, Australia, New Zealand, England (and the UK), Canada, South Africa
                                    and numerous other countries.
                                    
                                    Kind regards,

Dear Ms. Embry:

Thank you for writing to express your views on the "Military Retirees Health Care Protection Act" (H.R. 816). I appreciate hearing from you on this pending legislation and welcome the opportunity to respond.

First, let me say I have great respect for those who have answered the call to duty and selflessly sacrificed for our country. I firmly believe that legislation and other efforts to assist those who have served our country with honor, courage, and distinction deserve serious consideration. Over the past few years, I have consistently opposed any attempts to increase the financial burden on our troops and Veterans when it comes to medical care and access to prescription drugs.

As you know, the "Military Retirees Health Care Protection Act" is currently awaiting consideration in the U.S. House Representatives, and at this time, there is no companion legislation in the Senate. Please know that I will keep your thoughts and concerns in mind should this, or similar legislation, come before me for consideration.

Again, thank you for writing. I hope that you will continue to write on matters of importance to you. Should you have any further comments or questions, please feel free to contact my Washington, D.C. office at (202) 224-3841. Best regards.

Sincerely yours,

Dianne Feinstein
        United States Senator
