       It is the sense of the Senate that, for the purposes of 
     section 1110 of title 38, United States Code, and subject to 
     section 1113 of such title, for disabilities where there is 
     affirmative evidence to establish that a personal injury 
     suffered or disease contracted in line of duty for which 
     there is a recognized cause, or for aggravation of a 
     preexisting disease contracted in line of duty for which 
     there is a recognized cause, in the active military, naval, 
     air, or space service, during a period of war, the United 
     States will pay to any veteran thus disabled and who was 
     discharged or released under conditions other than 
     dishonorable from the period of service in which said injury 
     or disease was incurred, or preexisting injury or disease was 
     aggravated, compensation, but no compensation shall be paid 
     if the disability is a result of the veteran's own willful 
     misconduct or abuse of alcohol or drugs.
                                 ______
