House seeks deny benefits for veterans under review program
The House approved a $70.2 billion appropriations bill amid debate over President Carter's upgrade of many Vietnam-era discharges. An amendment to deny benefits for those taking the review program passed 273 to 136, with Rep. Beard arguing against it and Rep. Murtha defending veterans' paths. The measure affects 432,500 veterans eligible for discharge reviews, who must request reviews by October 4.
