          AMENDING THE CHARTER OF THE VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS

  Mr. HATCH. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Judiciary 
Committee be discharged from further consideration of S. 257, a bill to 
amend the charter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, that the Senate 
proceed to its immediate consideration; that the bill be deemed read a 
third time; passed, and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the 
table.
  There being no objection, the bill (S. 257) was considered, deemed 
read the third time, and passed, as follows:
                                 S. 257

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled, That 
     section 5 of the Act of May 28, 1936 (36 U.S.C. 115), is 
     amended to read as follows:
       ``Sec. 5. A person may not be a member of the corporation 
     created by this Act unless that person--
       ``(1) served honorably as a member of the Armed Forces of 
     the United States in a foreign war, insurrection, or 
     expedition, which service has been recognized as campaign-
     medal service and is governed by the authorization of the 
     award of a campaign badge by the Government of the United 
     States; or
       ``(2) while a member of the Armed Forces of the United 
     States, served honorably on the Korean peninsula or in its 
     territorial waters for not less than 30 consecutive days, or 
     a total of 60 days, after June 30, 1949.''
