DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis document records the oral and written testimony of representatives of veterans' groups and of the Department of Veterans Affairs at a congressional hearing on H.R. 996, the Veterans Education Outreach Program. That bill would continue funding for the program, which helps recruit veterans to receive the college education to which they are entitled and pays colleges $100 for each eligible veteran that the colleges recruit. The testimony was highly supportive of the program and favored increasing the number of colleges that have recruiting offices for veterans, funded through this program. The document also contains the text of the bill, statements from the Paralyzed Veterans of America and the Blinded Veterans Association, and questions and answers of witnesses. (KC)
