![["Richard A. Esley wrote a letter expressing concern about proposed cuts to Disabled Veterans' Pensions, which has since been withdrawn. Legislation has been introduced to stabilize and freeze disability compensation. James R. Jones, a Member of Congress, assures Esley that he will closely follow the hearings and do all he can to help protect veterans' payments. Esley, a disabled veteran, is worried about how he and other veterans will support themselves and their families with limited job opportunities due to disabilities. He feels betrayed by the President and hopes that something can be done to protect veterans' benefits."]](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_1_0005_thumbnail.jpg "Esley concerned about cuts to Disabled Veterans' Pensions, seeks protection.")

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.
