RUSH EXCERPT:

KENNEDY III: “Anderson, to make sure that as if you are going to irrevocably alter the. The nature of this holy, sacred ground that is arlington and other parts of Washington, D.C., by the way, that you have to go through a process whereby the public is informed whereby Congress authorizes it, and therefore the American people can speak to what it is that is going to be done, and how and the implications of it. The administration has acknowledged that there‘s going to be negative impacts on arlington by building this arch. They have changed the Rationale for it repeatedly. And what we are saying as living members of individuals who are interred there. My namesake, Joseph Kennedy, was a world war two pilot who killed, was was killed in world war two. His remains were never found. He‘s got a memorial tombstone there, right next to my grandfather‘s, right next to both of my great uncles. I‘m not alone in having numerous relatives there. And all we are saying as family members that have have loved ones, there‘s you got to go through the process that Congress laid out a president. United States doesn‘t get to sidestep that because they want to build a building. Not the way it works.”
