I have the honor to transmit herewith for the consideration of Congress a draft of proposed legislation to reappropriate $3,500,000 of the unexpended balance of the appropriation "Military and naval insurance, Veterans' Bureau, 1930, and prior years," and $800,000 of the unexpended balance of the appropriation "Salaries and expenses, Veterans' Bureau, 1930," and to make the sum of these amounts available for the purposes of the appropriation "Military and naval compensation, Veterans' Bureau, 1930, and prior years."

The details of this proposed legislation, the necessity therefor, and the reason for its submission at this time are set forth in the letter of the Director of the Bureau of the Budget, transmitted herewith, with whose comments and observations thereon I concur.
