Item — Box: 7, Folder: 19

Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_7_19_0020

Scope and Contents

The letter from the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post No. 1099 in Vinita, Oklahoma to Congressman George B. Schwabe urges him to use his influence to bring three bills concerning veterans' benefits out of committee for consideration. The bills include equitable adjusted service pay for World War II veterans, pensions for World War I veterans, and insurance credits for military service under Social Security. Congressman Schwabe responds that he is not a member of the committees handling these bills but will consider them if they are brought before the House. He also expresses doubt about the bills being acted upon soon due to the volume of other legislation being prioritized by Congress.
