Pension Reform Approved In House Veterans Panel
The House Veterans Affairs Committee approved a bill to reform disability pensions for veterans and widows with a sliding scale. It would cost 308 million dollars in the first year and save 12 billion by 2000, affecting about 1.13 million people including 854,406 current pensioners and thousands of dependents. The plan raises monthly payments based on income and dependents and adds 15 dollars per month per child plus 70 cents for helpless veterans with attendants. Also noted: a Senate Rackets Committee witness described a pre dated pardon linked to John S. Fine aiding deportation avoidance.
