DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


Advisory Committee on OIF/OEF Veterans and Families; Notice of 
Establishment

    As required by Section 9(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, the Department of Veterans Affairs hereby gives notice of the 
establishment of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Advisory 
Committee on OIF/OEF Veterans and Families. The Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs has determined that establishing the Committee is both 
necessary and in the public interest.
    The Committee will provide advice to the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs on the full spectrum of health care, benefits delivery and 
related family support issues that confront servicemembers during their 
transition from active duty to veterans' status and during their post-
service years. The Committee will focus on the concerns of all men and 
women with active military service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and/or 
Operation Enduring Freedom, but will pay particular attention to 
severely disabled veterans and their families.
    Committee members shall be appointed by the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs and shall serve as objective advisors, and not as 
representatives of any organizations for whom they may otherwise be 
serving. The Committee shall report regularly to the Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs on its major activities and recommendations.

    Dated: February 15, 2007.

    By Direction of Secretary.
E. Philip Riggin,
Committee Management Officer.
