Legion asks Congress to boost veterans benefits
The American Legion urged Congress at a public hearing to raise disability and death benefits for veterans and dependents including widows. Daniel Foley, national commander, said the Pension Program, though valued, fails to meet wartime veterans’ and survivors’ monetary needs. Lane, a New York lawyer, claimed a meeting about Oswald was held at the Carousel Club, but Warren denied secret proceedings and Lane’s request to have counsel access.
