The retirement committee can send staff abroad. Feng Shikuan, chairman of the retirement committee, said he is expected to send 2 veterans to the United States at an annual cost of about 15 million yuan. However, lawmakers have questioned that it would cost 15 million yuan to send two people, but existing units can achieve the function, and asked the recall committee to clarify this by reviewing the budget.
On April 30, the Executive Yuan approved the draft amendments to Articles 4-1 and 6 of the “Subsidiary Council Organization Law”, in order to deepen the exchange mechanism for veterans’ affairs in Taiwan and the United States, and strengthen the centripetal force of veterans and family members in the United States.

However, Ma Wenjun, a member of the Kuomintang Legislative Council, questioned that the current unit in the United States already has its existing functions.

Do you need to spend 15 million yuan?
Ma Wenjun said, what is the purpose of sending people? Will it become a reward? Due to qualification requirements, the Simple Officer and the Recommended Officer are the difference between heaven and earth. The simple officer must have the qualifications of military officer or deputy military officer, and the proposed officer to be sent now requires no qualifications at all, will he become a brother interpreter like this? out?
Feng Shikuan responded to his promise that the procedure for selecting stationed personnel would definitely be “unpaid, fair, impartial and able to speak.” Selection of candidates will be carried out using the standards of military officers stationed abroad. Rest assured.

Otherwise, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Overseas Chinese Affairs Commission and the Ministry of National Defense can do the same: I hope that by reviewing the budget, this matter will be clarified.
