- Description:
- The document is a response from Congressman James R. Jones to a letter from Edward L. Harp regarding legislation to increase allowance benefits for veterans in college. Congressman Jones acknowledges Harp's concerns and mentions a bill introduced by Senator Hartke that addresses the financial problems of student veterans. He assures Harp that he will keep his views in mind when the bill reaches the House floor. Harp had previously written to Congressman Jones about his own situation, where his V.A. benefits were set to be terminated despite having 36 months of eligibility left. He is seeking information on when the bill will be passed and if it will include an extension of the time limit.
