Memorializes President and Congress to expand benefits to grandchildren of veterans with Spina Bifida caused by Agent Orange.

Currently, only the children of these veterans receive benefits under the "Agent Orange Benefits Act of 1996." The resolution highlights the lifelong medical needs and disabilities associated with Spina Bifida and argues that the grandchildren should receive the same support, including monthly allowances, vocational programs, counseling, and health care.
