On the recordJuly 8, 1998
Is it not true that one of the technical corrections has to do with the fact that those who helped write the provisions of the law that attempted to rescind the general counsel's regulation expanding benefits for those who smoked while in the military, that in doing that, actually the drafter expanded that to reduce other benefits that were for veterans who were never even intended to be covered? That is one of the technical corrections, to return it to what it should be, rather than to have an expanded reduction in benefits that go to veterans. Is that not true?
