![["The document is a response from Congressman James R. Jones to Oren L. Smock, expressing support for the Veterans Education and Rehabilitation Amendments Act (H.R. 12628) and assuring continued support in the event of a veto by President Ford. Jones acknowledges Smock's concerns about the potential veto and mentions that Congress delayed sending the bill to the President in order to be able to override a veto. Smock had previously written to Jones expressing concern about President Ford potentially vetoing the bill, which aimed to increase the V.A. budget to provide disabled veterans with increased compensation. Smock, a disabled veteran, emphasized the challenges of living on V.A. compensation and hoped for Jones' assistance in supporting the bill."]](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_0057_thumbnail.jpg "Congressman Jones supports bill for disabled veterans despite potential veto.")
