House moves to limit benefits for veterans with bad discharges
In heated votes the House approved a $70.2 billion funding bill for HUD Treasury VA and 13 other agencies and adopted an amendment to bar benefits for veterans with less than honorable discharges. Rep. Beard argued the Carter plan rewards poor conduct while Rep. Murtha urged mercy.
