The document discusses the on-the-job training law Public Law 679, which emphasizes that veterans must primarily enter training as students or trainees. The law provides for minimum training standards and reimbursement for supervision expenses. It also limits subsistence payments and sets a two-year limitation on job training. The G.I. Bill aims to provide veterans with training for jobs and opportunities for self-support, without establishing a ceiling on earnings. The document also mentions the importance of cleaning out chiselers from the program to ensure its success. Finally, it highlights the opportunities the G.I. Bill offers veterans for education and training to help them become self-supporting American citizens.
