On the recordJuly 25, 2000
H.R. 4864 is the Veterans Claims Assistance Act of 2000. The bill includes difficulties veterans have experienced with the claims processing since the Veterans Administration's implementation of a decision in the case of Morton v. West. The bill requires the VA to assist veterans in obtaining records even though the veterans has not filed what has been called a well-grounded claim. The Subcommittee on Benefits has worked closely with the veterans service organizations, with the VA, and with the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs on this bill. I urge my colleagues to support passage of H.R. 4864, as amended.
