port of the United States for the transition of members 
of the Armed Forces to civilian life, President Franklin

ment Act of 1944 (58 Stat. 284), more commonly known 
as the ‘‘G.I. Bill of Rights’’;

served in the Armed Forces during World War II imme-
diate financial support and transformational education

doctors, 122,000 dentists, 17,000 writers and editors, 
and thousands of other professionals to the workforce of 
the United States; 
Whereas this combination of opportunities changed the social 
and economic fabric of the United States, with a 1988 
report from the Subcommittee on Education and Health 
of the Joint Economic Committee of Congress concluding 
that for every $1 the United States invested in such Act, 
$6.90 was returned in growth to the economy of the 
United States; 
Whereas such Act expressed the duty, responsibility, and de-
sire of a grateful United States to see to it that those 
who served on active duty in the Armed Forces are af-
forded every opportunity to become disciplined forces for 
United States prosperity and progress, through economic 
opportunity and investment; 
Whereas Congress enacted subsequent Acts to provide edu-
cational assistance to new generations of veterans, includ-
ing the Veterans’ Readjustment Benefits Act of 1966 
(Public Law 89–358), the Post-Vietnam Era Veterans’ 
Educational Assistance Act of 1977 (Public Law 94– 
502), the Veterans’ Educational Assistance Act of 1984 
(Public Law 98–525), and the Post-9/11 Veterans Edu-
cational Assistance Act of 2008 (Public Law 110–252); 
and 
Whereas the week of June 18 through June 22, 2018, is an 
appropriate week to designate as ‘‘National GI Bill Com-
memoration Week’’: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 
(1) honors the achievements of the Servicemen’s 
Readjustment Act of 1944 (58 Stat. 284) in democ-

ful stewards of educational assistance provided 
under laws administered by the Secretary of Vet-
erans Affairs to ensure that such assistance endures 
as an honorable investment of public dollars.
