VA Report On Vietnam Vets A new statistical profile of the 8.9 million men and women in military service during the Vietnam era is available in a Veterans Administration report, "Data on Vietnam Era Veterans." The report reveals that VA readjustment programs and other benefits for this youngest group of veterans amounted to approximately $6 billion during the last fiscal year. More than $46 billion has been spent during the 15 years since the beginning of the Vietnam era. The VA's total budget for all programs for more than 30 million veterans of all wars was $21 billion during the last fiscal year. Education assistance payments for Vietnam veterans consumed half of the $46 billion total spent since 1965 on Vietnam veterans' programs. According to VA and military statistics, Vietnam era veterans are the best educated group of veterans in our country's history. They have made more use of their GI Bill benefits than both World War II and Korean conflict veterans. Nearly 65 percent of the Vietnam veterans used their education benefits as compared to just over 50 percent after World War II and 43.4 percent after the Korean conflict. More Vietnam yeterans have used the GI Bill for college than the total for World War II and the Korean conflict combined. Compensation and pension payments comprise the second. largest VA ex­ penditure to Vietnafn era veterans, a total of more than $9.7 billion through Fiscal year 1979. Medical care expenditures for Vietnam era veterans have amounted to more Mian $3.6 billion through Fiscal year 1979. i • The report shows that California leads the nation in the number of Vietnam era .veterans - 999,000 call it home. New York is next, with 615,000; followed by Texas, with 512,000; Penn­ sylvania, with 490,000; Ohio, with 449,000, and Illinois, with 431,000. Wyoming has fewer Vietnam era veterans than any other state, with 14,000. Other highlights from VA's data book show that Vietnam era veterans: have purchased more than 2 million homes with GI loans worth $56 billion; are the least likely veterans (because of their_ relative youth \ to have been hospitalized; and are 32.9 years of age on the average.

Set Art Week '80 The Illinois Arts Council, IAC, has voted to sponsor Arts Week for a third year during Oct. 4-12, 1980. The vote came during the council's first quarterly meeting Jan. 25-26 in Chicago following a review of Arts Week '79. During that review, council members were told of many Illinois communities clamoring not just for an arts week, but an arts month. In announcing the coun­ cil's decision, IAC Chairman William DuVall reiterated the support for the program voiced throughout the state. He said, "Arts Week demonstrates what a tremendous amount of in­ terest there is in the arts in Illinois. Arts Week channels this interest into a focal point. This benefits not only the arts groups but in­ dividual artists, one of the great resources of Illinois, as well." Planning for the festival will be organized under the direction of a council Arts Week committee appointed by the chairman.
