    The purpose of the Committee is to provide advice to the Secretary 
of Veterans Affairs on proposed business plans at those VA facility 
sites identified in May 2004 as requiring further study by the Capital 
Asset Realignment for Enhanced Services (CARDS) Decision document.
    The agenda at each meeting will include a discussion of the 
potential CARES Business Plan options for each site. The options have 
been developed by the VA contractor. The agenda will provide time for 
public comments on the options and for discussion of which options 
should be considered by the Secretary for further analysis and 
development in the next stage of the Business Plan Option development 
process.
    Interested persons may attend and present oral or written 
statements to the Committee. For additional information regarding the
