  SA 2760. Mrs. MURRAY (for Mr. Heller) proposed an amendment to the 
bill S. 1731, to amend title 38, United States Code, to waive the 
minimum period of continuous active duty in the Armed Forces for 
receipt of certain benefits for homeless veterans, to authorize the 
Secretary of Veterans Affairs to furnish such benefits to homeless 
veterans with discharges or releases from service in the Armed Forces 
with other than dishonorable conditions, and for other purposes; as 
follows:

       On page 4, between lines 15 and 16, insert the following:

     SEC. 6. AUTHORIZATION OF PER DIEM PAYMENTS FOR FURNISHING 
                   CARE TO DEPENDENTS OF CERTAIN HOMELESS 
                   VETERANS.

       Section 2012(a) of title 38, United States Code, is amended 
     by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
       ``(4) Services for which a recipient of a grant under 
     section 2011 of this title (or an entity described in 
     paragraph (1)) may receive per diem payments under this 
     subsection may include furnishing care for a dependent of a 
     homeless veteran who is under the care of such homeless 
     veteran while such homeless veteran receives services from 
     the grant recipient (or entity).''.
