- Description:
- Mr. Clyde Gleason Ames, a disabled veteran, wrote a letter to Member of Congress James R. Jones expressing concern about the decrease in his pension due to an increase in Social Security payments. Jones acknowledges the issue and mentions that several Bills have been introduced to prevent such decreases in the future. He hopes that Congress will find an equitable solution to the problem. Ames, in his letter, explains how the decrease in pension and Social Security payments has affected his ability to afford living expenses. He thanks Jones for his support.
