Teague Sees Vet Bill Defeat and Legion Pressure
Washington reports House Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman Olin E Teague predicts the multibillion dollar veterans benefits bill will be defeated by the House after heavy American Legion pressure. He cites a committee vote of 108 to oppose and says lawmakers may delay action until after the election year. The measure would raise monthly pensions and disability compensation across several veteran groups, with early cost estimates around 77 billion over 40 years.
