          HEARINGS BEFORE THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON
SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS, COMMITTEE ON VETERANS' AFFAIRS
        UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

                           ON

DENYING VETERANS' BENEFITS TO CERTAIN FORMER SERVICEMEN,

                       H.R. 4367


     Mr. Chairman, Members of the Committee, it is a pleasure

to appear before you today to discuss our report High Cost

of Military Attrition Can Be Reduced, issued to the Congress

on February 16, 1979 and to comment on H.R. 4367, which pro-

vides that veterans' benefits shall be available only to

those who complete their initial obligated tour of duty.

     At the request of Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr., we made a

study to determine the total costs associated with first-term

attrition--those military members separated before completing

their initial enlistments. Attrition is not only costly in

terms of recruiting and training new personnel but also for

benefits available to servicemen after discharge.
