Jones wrote a letter to Ms. Alexandra King discussing recent legislation passed to improve veterans' educational benefits. The bill did not change the basic 36-month period of eligibility for most veterans, except for children of servicemen who died in action and veterans who are 100% disabled, who have a 40-month entitlement. Congressman Jones mentioned that the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee may make changes to this provision. He enclosed a copy of the bill and offered further assistance. A note from another individual inquiring about a waiver to join the Reserves for Ms. King was also mentioned.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
