severely disabled veterans and their families.
    The agenda for the May 14-16 meeting will include briefings by 
senior officials of the Veterans Health Administration, Veterans 
Benefits Administration, and National Cemetery Administration on VA 
programs and policies that particularly affect OIF/OEF veterans. Other

Seamless Transition, and deliberations of the Joint (VA-DoD) Executive 
Council. The May 16 session will be devoted to Committee discussion of 
its general workplan, possible site visits to VA facilities, and future 
meeting dates.
