Highlights

Legislation was proposed by the Veterans Administration (VA) to Congress to terminate GI bill benefits for flight and correspondence training programs. VA contends that, because these two programs have not achieved their intended purpose, they did not lead to continuing substantial employment for most trainees, and because of the potential for abuse within the programs, they should be terminated.
