CONSENT CALENDAR
The SPEAKER. This is Consent
Calendar day. The Clerk will call the
first bill on the Consent Calendar.
The law provides that payment shall
not exceed $10,000 in any event and per-
mits payment of 50 percent of the total
cost to the veteran of a. home for special
fixtures or movable facilities.
The Veterans' Administration esti-
mates that there are less than 40 such
veterans who would meet this criterion.
The total nonrecurring cost would be
$400,000, with considerably less than that
amount expected the first year.
'The bill was ordered to be engrossed
and read a third time, was read the third
time, and passed, and a motion to recon-
sider was laid on the table.
STATUTORY AWARD FOR APHONIA
The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 10066)
to amend title 38 of the United States
Code to provide additional compensation
for veterans suffering the loss or loss of
'use of both vocal cords, with resulting
complete aphonia.
There being no objection, the Clerk
read the bill, as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That sec-
tion 314(k) of title 38, United States Code,
is amended by inserting immediately after
"having only light perception," each place
it appears the following: "or has suffered
complete organic aphonia with constant
inability to communicate by speech,".
SEC. 2. The amendments made by this Act
shall take effect on the first day of the
second calendar month which begins after
the date of enactment of this Act.
(Mr. TEAGUE of Texas asked and was
-given permission to extend his remarks
at this point in the RECORD.)
Mr. TEAGUE of Texas. Mr. Speaker,
the current schedule for rating dis-
abilities provides that complete organic
aphonia-loss of speech-with constant
inability to communicate, by speech will
be rated as totally disabling with com-
pensation payable in the total amount of
$225 a month. This bill provides that
the statutory award rate-$47-now
applicable for other appropriate dis-
abilities for a specific loss shall be added
to the total rate. This $47 a month
allowance would mean that the veteran
would receive $272 monthly if this bill
is enacted into law.
The Veterans' Administration indi-
cates that there are only 20 known cases
involving complete organic aphonia
meeting the criteria of this bill, which
means that the annual cost would be
$11,280.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed
and read a third time, was read the third
time, and passed, and a motion to recon-
sider was laid on the table.
that an amendment will be offered. if
the bill is considered which would strike
section 2 from the bill. I think it is im-
portant to read section 2., It reads.as
follows:
SEC. 2. In the audit and settlement of the
accounts of any certifying or disbursing offi-
cer of the United States full credit shall be
given for all amounts for which liability is
relieved by section 1 of this Act.
It is my understanding that the re-
moval of this section would still place
a financial burden on the disbursing of-
ficer or paymaster for the failure on his
part to follow the regulations. It seems
.to me there is merit to the bill if we
limit'the relief to those who have re-
ceived the money not knowing they
should not have received it, but I see no
reason whatsoever to relieve a disburs-
ing officer or paymaster whose job it is
to see to it that these moneys should not
have been paid. I would like to ask the
gentleman from New York whether or
not he does intend to offer an amend-
ment to delete section 2?
Mr. CAREY. I believe the gentle-
man's point is well taken, The amend-
ment, I understand, will be offere(L by
the gentleman from Massachusetts [Mr.
LANE]. The amendment is at the desk.
Mr. FORD. I believe this is a good
solution to this problem, and I hope and
trust that in the consideration of any
subsequent. bills of this nature that we
will not relieve the paymaster or the dis-
bursing officer where there is an obvious
case of error, which was the case in this
instance.
Mr. Speaker, I withdraw my objection.
The SPEAKER. Is there objection to
the present consideration of the bill?
There being no objection, the Clerk
read the bill, as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That all of-
ficers, warrant officers, and enlisted personnel
assigned to the 1202d Civil Affairs Group
(Reinf Tng), Fort Hamilton, Brooklyn, New
York, during the period commencing Decem-
ber 1, 1959, and ending on November 30,
1960, are relieved of all liability to refund
to the United States the amounts, which
were otherwise correct, erroneously received
by them as pay for participating in inactive
duty training assemblies conducted by the
1202d Civil Affairs Group (Reinf Tng) dur-
ing the period commencing on December 1,
1959, and ending on November 30, 1960.
SEC. 2. In the audit and settlement of the
accounts of any certifying or disbursing of-
ficer of the United States full credit shall
be given for all amounts for which liability is
relieved by section 1 of this Act.
SEC. 3. If any member or former member of
the 1202d Civil Affairs Group (Reinf Tng)
has at any time refunded to the United
States all or a part of the erroneous pay-
ments with which this Act is concerned, the
Secretary of Treasury is authorized to pay,
out of appropriations available for the pay
and allowances of members of the uniformed
services, to that person the amount he or she
repaid.
Mr. LANE, Mr. Speaker, I offer an
amendment.
The Clerk read as follows:

PRINCE GEORGES COUNTY SCHOOL
`BOARD, MARYLAND
The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 6759)
for the relief of the Prince Georges
County School Board, Maryland.
-Mr. GROSS. Mr. Speaker, I ask
unanimous consent that this bill be
passed over without prejudice.
The SPEAKER. Is there 'objection to
the request of the gentleman from Iowa?
There was no objection.
PARAPLEGIC HOVSINQ. PROGRAM
The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 4012)
to amend section 891,of title 38, United
States Code, to provide assistance in
acquiring specially adapted housing for
certain blind veterans who have suffered
the loss or loss of use of a lower ex-
tremity.
There being no objection, the Clerk
read the bill, as follows:
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That para-
graph (2) of section 801 of title 3$ United
States Code, is amended by striking out
", and such permanent and total disability is
such as to preclude locomotion without the
aid of a wheelchair," and inserting in lieu
thereof a semicolon.
(Mr. TEAGUE of Texas asked and was
given permission to extend his remarks
at this point in the RECORD.)
Mr. TEAGUE of Texas. Mr. Speaker,
the purpose of this bill is to expand the
paraplegic housing program-the pro-
gram which provides for a maximum
$10,000 grant for severely disabled vet-
erans in acquiring specially_ equipped
homes made necessary because of their
peculiar difficulties.
At the present"time veterans with serv-
ice-connected disabilities of all wars and
peacetime are eligible if they meet the
following criteria: They are perma-
nently and totally disabled due, first, to
the loss or loss of use of both lower ex-
tremities so as to preclude locomotion
without the aid of braces, crutches,
canes, or wheelchairs; or second, blind
in both eyes, having only light percep-
tion, plus loss or loss of use of one lower
extremity, and in such condition as to
preclude locomotion without the aid of
a wheelchair.
The bill deletes the, requirement in
category two mentioned above so as to
permit a blind veteran to obtain this
grant even though he is able to move
about without the aid of a wheelchair.
THE 1202D CIVIL AFFAIRS GROUP
The Clerk called the bill (H.R. 9199)
for the relief of certain officers and ' en
listed personnel of the 1202d Civil Affairs
Group (Reinf Tng), Fort Hamilton,
Brooklyn, N.Y.

Illinois River at Beardstown, Ill., shall
be designated the Sid Simpson flood con-
trol project in honor of our= late col-
.
league
No man knew or understood the prob-
lems of the people of the Illinois and
Mississippi River valleys any better than
Sid Simpson. No one worked harder for
flood control and for conserva'nion of the
soil and water resources not cnly of our
great State of Illinois but of the entire
country as well.
Sid Simpson was not content just to
work for the advancement of flood con-
trol projects of interest to the- people of
his own district. He supported sound
projects of natural resource development
throughout the United States and served
as president of the National Rivers and
Harbors Conference.
Our colleague, while a Member of this
House, sat on the other side of the aisle
from me. Despite our differing party af-
filiations, however, we were firm friends.
In fact, he was the first Member to coun-
sel me when I came to Congress in 1949
at a time when he was beginning his
fourth term.
Congressman Simpson and my late
father both were . pioneer automobile
dealers in neighboring counties in Illi-
nois, and they were good friends. It is.
a sad coincidence that their deaths oc-
cured just 2 weeks apart in the fall
of 1958.
Congressman Simpson certelnly would
have been elected to a ninth term in the
House in the election which took place
a few weeks after his death. As it was,
the people of the 20th District: elected in
his place his widow, Edna Oakes Simp-
son, who served with distin';tion as a
Member of the 86th Congress.
It is most fitting that we give Sid
Simpson the recognition h so ably
merited and pass this bill so that the
floodwall he sponsored will bear his
name.
The bill was ordered to be-engrossed
and read a third time, was read the third
time, and passed, and a motion to recon-
sider was laid on the table.
