Whereas, In the case of certain individuals buried in a cemetery that is owned by a State or by an agency or political subdivision of a State, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs will pay to such State, agency or political subdivision the sum of $300 as a plot or interment allowance for such individual; and

Whereas, Such individuals include surviving spouses, surviving spouses subsequently remarried, and certain minor children as described by sections 2303 and 2402 of Title 38, United States Code; and

Whereas, H.R.2594 will apply to an individual who dies on or after the date of enactment of the legislation; now, therefore,
