DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS


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

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under Public 
Law 92-463 (Federal Advisory Committee Act) that a subcommittee of the 
Advisory Committee on OIF/OEF Veterans and Families will conduct a site 
visit in the Las Vegas, Nevada area on June 26-28, 2007. The site visit 
will include a town hall meeting, tours and briefings at various VA 
facilities, and a tour of Nellis AFB medical facilities. The town hall 
meeting will be open to the public.
    The purpose of the Committee is to advise 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 veteran status and during their post-
service years. The Committee focuses on the concerns of all men and 
women with active military service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and/or 
Operation Enduring Freedom, but pays particular attention to severely 
disabled veterans and their families.
    On June 26, the subcommittee will attend a veterans small business 
conference at the Caesars Palace Hotel and will receive afternoon 
briefings by Nellis AFB officials. On June 27, the subcommittee will 
tour several VA medical clinics and will receive briefings by Veterans 
Health Administration and Veterans Benefits Administration personnel on 
issues of particular relevance to OIF/OEF veterans and their families. 
The subcommittee will conduct a two hour town hall meeting beginning at 
7 p.m. in the Jewel Box Theater at the Clark County Library, 1401 E. 
Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, Nevada. On June 28, the subcommittee will 
hold a wrap up session to review and analyze the previous days' 
briefings. That session will be held at the MGM Grand, 3799 Las Vegas 
Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada.
    Public comments will be received by the subcommittee at the town 
hall meeting on June 27. Individuals wishing to make oral statements at 
the meeting should contact the Committee at [email protected]. Just prior 
to the town hall meeting, there will also be a sign up sheet for people 
to register their interest in making public statements. Oral statements 
by the public will be limited to five minutes each.
    Anyone seeking additional information should contact Ronald Thomas, 
Esq., Designated Federal Officer, at (202) 273-5182.

    Dated: June 6, 2007.

    By direction of the Secretary.
