H.R. 3673, the veterans' compensation and readjustment benefits amendments of 1996, makes various improvements to VA disability programs, education benefits, and administration of the home loan program. It also reauthorizes the Homeless Veterans Reintegration Project and authorizes the American Battle Monuments Commission to accept private funds for maintenance of overseas memorials transferred to the Commission. Additionally, H.R. 3673, expands eligibility for burial benefits to certain veterans who die in State veterans nursing homes. I urge my colleagues to support this bill.
