My bill would establish a grant program to assist State governments in providing veterans with advice and assistance concerning State and Federal veterans programs and benefits. As Members of this body know only too well. congressional offices shoulder an awesome responsibility in assisting constituents in their daytoday dealings with the agencies of the Federal Government. We are all too familiar with lost social security checks and relatives seeking entrance visas. The same applies to veterans and their dependents applying for benefits or enrolling in programs administered by the Veterans Administration. Such constituent services have become a vital function of every congressional office and have greatly Improved the popular perception of Government in general.
