Cong Teague
Issues Statement
On Disabled Vets
'1 ■; .
Congressman Olin E. Teague
of College Station, 6th Texas
''‘strict, has issued the follow-
: statement to the 33rd na-
tal convention of the Disabl-
American Veterans in Miami
ich, Florida, August 15-21, in
ponse to the query, "What
your opinion does the dis-
ed veteran need most?”:
"Priority in the veterans’ pro-
gram must be given to the dis-
abled veteran and his depen-
dents. In the future I believe
we should concentrate on the
problems of the seriously dis-
abled.
“We are spending a tremen-
dous amount of money each
year on our veterans’ program,
yet I feel that those unfortunate
individuals with very serious
care of the widows and depen-
dents of our servicemen who
fell in battle.
“The problems of the serious-
ly disabled are widely varied.
In many instances disabled
veterans with particular prob-
lems are not concentrated In
large numbers. We must look
to the Disabled American Vete-
rans to seek and document the
special problems of those dis-
abled veterans suffering undue
hardship as a result of their
war disabilities.
’ “This year the Veterans Af-
fairs passed several bills which
affect only a few seriously dis-
abled veterans faced with spe-
cialized problems. The legisla-
tive process is complicated and
time-consuming, yet I sincerely
believe that the Disabled Ameri-
can Veterans and the Congress
should take the time necessary
to solve these highly specialized
problems.”
