The Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act, although not contained in title 38, also falls within the committee's jurisdiction and has been included in this publication.

The current print is the eleventh edition since the original codification of title 38 in 1958. The inclusion of compensation and pension tables, historical references and a ready-reference cross index makes this publication an essential source document for use by agencies and individuals concerned with veterans' affairs.

Carter, ably assisted by Walter Klingner and James R. MacRae, whose splendid services have made possible the prompt and accurate updating of this valuable publication.
