Summary
Directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide hospital care, and authorizes the Secretary to provide nursing home care, to a veteran exposed to an environmental hazard. Makes a veteran who the Secretary finds may have been exposed to a toxic substance or an environmental hazard during the Persian Gulf War eligible for hospital and nursing home care for any disability which becomes manifest before October 1, 1996, notwithstanding whether it is medically evident that such disability is associated with such exposure. Extends through FY 1998 the provision of such care. Makes such veterans eligible for outpatient care for any disability through such period, if the disability becomes manifest before October 1, 1996.
