Discussion on Proposed Pension Bill for World War I Veterans1945-05-28unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_047_1_7_19_0014The document dated June 1, 1945, from George B. Schwabe responds to a request from Mr. G. L. Hackleman for a bill to provide a pension for World War I veterans. Schwabe expresses doubts about the passage of such a bill, citing the pensions received by Civil War and Spanish-American War veterans and the current care provided to World War I disabled veterans. He mentions that many World War I veterans are opposed to universal pensioning and states that veterans organizations have not requested such a bill. Schwabe remains open to further suggestions on the matter. Hackleman's original letter had requested a pension for World War I veterans, comparing it to the pensions received by Civil War veterans and expressing the financial struggles faced by some veterans.
