![["The document from Congressman James R. Jones acknowledges the improvements in veterans' benefits proposed in legislation H.R. 12628 and expresses support for the legislation, which includes a 23% increase in pension benefits and a nine-month extension for education benefits. The document also mentions that the Conference Report on the legislation has not yet been submitted to Congress but is expected to be acted on before the end of the session. In response, Phillip Shorter, the Director of the Office of Veterans Affairs at Oklahoma City Southwestern College, expresses disappointment in the failure of the House to approve the legislation and urges Congressman Jones to use his influence to support the original Conference Report on H.R. 12628. Shorter argues that the proposed benefits are justified due to inflation and rising education costs, and emphasizes the importance of providing additional assistance to veterans."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/James%20R.%20Jones%20Collection/James%20R.%20Jones%20Legislative%20Series,%201968-1986/CAC_CC_109_7_10_1_0000-Veterans%20Affairs%20-%20Disability%20Compensation,%201973-1974/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_109_7_10_2_0051_thumbnail.jpg "Congressman supports legislation for increased veterans' benefits, disappointment in failure.")
