Scope and Contents
The letter is asking Representative Janes R. Jones to support HR 116, a bill sponsored by Representative Charles E. Bennett, which aims to address a provision of law that negatively affects military veterans who have also worked in civilian federal employment. The provision reduces the civil service annuity of these individuals at age 62, eliminating credit for military service after 1956. The letter argues that penalizing veterans in this way is unjust and requests Representative Jones support for the bill.
