Extends the programs of grants to States for the construction, remodeling, or renovation of State home facilities for furnishing hospital, domiciliary, and nursing home care to veterans through fiscal year 1984. Authorizes $5,000,000 for fiscal year 1980 for such purposes, and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal years 1981-1984. Eliminates the limitation that no one State may receive in any one fiscal year more than one-third of the aggregate amount appropriated for such programs. Authorizes the Administrator of Veterans' Affairs to enter into contracts, cooperative agreements, and provide grants for the exchange of medical information (presently such authority is limited to entering into contracts).

Extends the pilot program of exchange of medical information until fiscal year 1983. Authorizes appropriations of $2,500,000 for fiscal year 1980 and such sums as may be necessary for fiscal years 1982-1983.
