Nixon to Trim Veterans Programs and Pension Aid
The Nixon administration plans 1974 cuts including an $81 million reduction in VA hospital construction funds and no budget for a college veteran recruitment and tutoring program. A $5.8 million cut in medical research funds and a $6.6 million save in VA payroll eliminates 1,400 jobs. Critics warn of merging 57 VA offices into 10. Pension rules could count a veteran's wife income, risking pension loss if total exceeds $3,800 annually. The National Association of College Veterans, with 25,000 members, sued to force funding for the program.
