Vet Pension Bill Seen Doomed in Senate Finance Unit
Washington report notes a World War I pension bill faces likely defeat in the Senate Finance Committee amid White House opposition and a fierce advocacy push from The American Legion. The measure would grant 90 dollars monthly at age 65 to WWI veterans with low incomes, costing an estimated 367 million dollars initially and 618 million over five years. A companion disabled-veterans bill, costing about 172 million the first year, also appears stalled as election-year concerns loom. Senator Byrd, chair, sought input from Treasury and Veterans Administration on the bills.
