The letter acknowledges receipt of an inquiry about the Veteran's Benefits bill, specifically addressing the controversy around the nine-month extension for educational benefits for undergraduate work only. The compromise bill was necessary to avoid a veto threat from President Ford, but it is not clear if he will sign it. The writer supports an across-the-board increase for both undergraduate and graduate education. The veterans needed a strong bill, and the compromise was seen as a necessary step.
