Mr. Speaker, H.R. 284 would require employers to give employees who are a member of a reserve component a leave of absence for participation in an honor guard for the funeral of a veteran. Mr. Speaker, there has been substantial progress made over the last several years towards making military honors available for funerals of veterans. The plan adopted recently by the Department of Defense envisions that reservists and guardsmen will perform a substantial part of this important funeral duty. Under existing law, a reservist is entitled to job protection for absences due to military obligations. This bill would simply clarify that performing funerals is treated like any other military obligation for purposes of the law which provide reservists job protection.
