DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission; Notice of Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under Public 
Law 92-463 (Federal Advisory Committee Act) that the Veterans' 
Disability Benefits Commission has scheduled a town hall meeting for 
June 5, 2006, at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center, 1895 Camino del Rio 
South, San Diego, California. The town hall meeting will begin at 7 
p.m. and end at 9 p.m. The meeting is open to the public.
    The purpose of the Commission is to carry out a study of the 
benefits under the laws of the United States that are provided to 
compensate and assist veterans and their survivors for disabilities and 
deaths attributable to military service.
    The Commission is conducting the fifth of eight fact-finding site 
visits throughout the United States. The San Diego area was selected 
based upon criteria that included the concentration of veterans, 
active-duty service members and National guard and Reserves, and the 
location of VA and Department of Defense (DoD) facilities that are 
particularly involved in the transition activities. The goal of this 
visit is to allow the commissioners the opportunity to tour local VA 
and DoD facilities; examine the processes in place which assist 
disabled veterans, service members, and survivors in their efforts to 
obtain benefits; and to present these individuals and the general 
public with an opportunity to learn about the work of the Commission in 
face-to-face forums.
    Interested persons may attend the meeting and present oral 
statements to the Commission. Oral presentations will be limited to 
five minutes or less, depending on the number of participants. 
Interested parties may provide written comments for review by the 
Commission prior to the meting or at any time, by e-mail to 
[email protected] or by mail to Mr. Ray Wilburn, 
Executive Director, Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission, 1101 
Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 5th Floor, Washington, DC 20004.

    Dated: May 12, 2006.
    By Direction of the Secretary.
E. Philip Riggin,
Committee Management Officer.
