Sec. 506.10  ``Vietnam conflict'' defined.





    Vietnam conflict refers to the period beginning February 28, 1961, 

and ending on a date to be determined by Presidential proclamation or 

concurrent resolution of the Congress. (For purposes of determining 

eligibility for certain veterans' benefits, the President has proclaimed 

the date of May 7, 1975, to be the ending date of the ``Vietnam era'' 

(Presidential Proclamation No. 4373, 38 U.S.C. 101 note). In addition, 

Congress has set May 7, 1975, as the ending date of the ``Vietnam 

conflict'' for purposes of payment of interest on missing military 

service members' deposits in the United States Treasury under 10 U.S.C. 

1035. However, neither

the President nor the Congress has set an ending date for the Vietnam 

conflict for purposes of determining eligibility for compensation under
