Would authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor to Ret. Col. Robert J. Graham by waiving statutory time limits so he can be recognized for valor on May 1, 1966, during Operation Birmingham. The bill's findings say Graham flew a battle-damaged F-100 in monsoon conditions, made more than 15 attack passes, destroyed eight enemy anti-aircraft positions, helped neutralize over 1,500 North Vietnamese troops, and saved hundreds of American lives, and that he was awarded the Silver Star for those actions.
