Washington Examiner | Thousands of veterans record requests languish in red tape
Nearly a half-million veterans’ record requests are pending before the National Archives, leaving families without benefits, the ability to pursue jobs, or the right to have military burials.
Republican members of two House committees co-authored a letter on Thursday to U.S. Archivist David Ferriero asking for a plan to remedy the problem and conduct a briefing before May 13. The letter was signed by 29 members of the Oversight and Reform and Veterans' Affairs committees, calling the situation unacceptable. |
