The text is a response from Congressman James R. Jones to a constituent, Earl Lee Flanagan, regarding his objection to Jones' vote to override the President's veto on the Veterans Education and Rehabilitation Amendments Act. Jones explains his reasons for supporting the bill, including representing the majority wishes of his district, the benefits of the bill for Vietnam veterans, and the long-term economic benefits of investing in education for veterans. Jones also reassures Flanagan that he is committed to reducing spending in a way that is consistent with citizen needs.
