From Senator Pat Roberts:

"In May, Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ) introduced S. 1035. The bill reduces the age for receipt of military retired pay for members of the reserve components from age 60 to 55. The bill was referred to Senate Armed Services Committee, on which

I sit, for further consideration. Additionally, Representative Jim Saxton (R-NJ) has introduced identical legislation, H.R. 742, in the House of Representatives. Hearings have not been scheduled on the bill in either the Senate or House."
