![["Bob R. Hooper wrote to Congressman James R. Jones expressing concern about a veterans' pension bill that would count spouses' income towards veterans' pension eligibility. He requested that Jones do everything he can to prevent this part of the bill from passing, as it would create hardship for many non-service connected disabled veterans and their families. Jones responded, thanking Hooper for his letter and assuring him that he will support proposals that best serve the needs of veterans when the final legislation comes before the House."]](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_3_0010_thumbnail.jpg "Hooper expresses concern about veterans' pension bill, Jones promises support.")
