Hoover opposes pending veterans compensation bill in Senate
President Hoover presented to the Senate Finance Committee his objections to the measure allowing higher loan limits on adjusted service certificates. He warned the plan could create a national liability of about 1.712 billion dollars and strain public finances, citing potential extensive funding needs if many veterans take full advantage. The administration estimates loans could total about 1.283 billion, with net borrowing near 959 million after subtracting prior advances. Senator Reed noted a veto possibility by President Hoover, while Senator Smoot indicated amendments may be required.
