                     Committee on Veterans' Affairs

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I wish to announce publicly that the 
Committee on Veterans' Affairs will hold a hearing on Thursday, March 
9, 1995, at 10 a.m. in SR-418, Russell Senate Office Building.
  The committee has two purposes for holding this hearing. First, we 
will receive testimony on the nomination of Mr. Dennis M. Duffy to be 
the Department of Veterans Affairs' Assistant Secretary for Policy and 
Planning. Mr. Duffy currently serves as VA's Deputy Assistant Secretary 
for Congressional Liaison.
  Second, the committee will hear testimony from officials of three 
Federal entities--the Department of Veterans Affairs; the Department of 
Labor, Veterans Employment and Training Service; and the Court of 
Veterans Appeals--on those entities' proposed budgets for fiscal year 
1996. We also intend to receive testimony from representatives of 
veterans' service organizations concerning the fiscal year 1996 budget 
for veterans programs.
  The committee would be pleased to receive written statements from 
members of the public concerning these matters. Such statements may be 
submitted to the Committee's offices. Members of the public may also 
contact Mr. William F. Tuerk, the committee's general counsel, if they 
have questions or need information concerning the subject matter of 
this hearing.
