Without the amendment. H.R. 5320 contains no specific dollar amount to fund a veterans employment and training program. Guaranteed funding levels are prescribed for migrant workers and Native Americans but disabled and Vietnamera veterans must share funding with all other groups such as displaced homemakers and youth. The EdgarHeckler amendment sets aside a modest 0.4 percent of the total cost of the bill. or about $14 million. to assist communitybased efforts to find employment for veterans. Madam Chairman. mavy veterans who actually served in Southeast Asia continue to have a number of readjustment difficulties and these problems are compounded by unemployment and underemployment.
