Senator YARBOROUGH. The Subcommittee on Veterans' Affairs will come to order.

Senator Lister Hill, chairman of the Committee on Labor and Public Welfare, has appointed me as chairman of the Subcommittee on Veterans' Affairs, which this morning opens a series of public hearings on proposals to extend to veterans of post-Korean service readjustment benefits similar in character to those afforded Korean veterans under the Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952, popularly known as the Korean GI bill of rights.

S. 930, introduced by Senator Thomas C. Hennings, Jr., and Senator Theodore Francis Green.

S. 1138, introduced by 26 Senators including 3 members of this subcommittee, Senator Hill, Senator Kennedy, and myself.
