New Plan by Leaders for Vet Pensions
Washington GI leaders rolled out a new one half cost pension plan for veterans as debate over a bill that could cost billions unfolds. Rep Edmondson said the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars back a 590 a month pension replacing the 105 version approved by the House Veterans Committee. The compromise would reduce first year costs to about two thirds of a billion, versus the administration estimate of 1.4 billion. Chairman Teague with Speaker Rayburn backed a rival plan aimed at helping seriously disabled veterans, proposing pension liberalization costing about 200 million in the first year.
