    The meeting sessions are open to the public, except when the 
Committee is conducting tours of VA facilities. Tours of VA facilities 
are closed to protect Veterans' privacy and personal information, in 
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6).
    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the VA regarding the 
provision by VA of benefits and services to assist Veterans in the 
readjustment to civilian life. In carrying out this duty, the Committee 
shall take into account the needs of Veterans who served in combat 
theaters of operation. The Committee assembles, reviews, and assesses 
information relating to the needs of Veterans readjusting to civilian 
life and the effectiveness of VA services in assisting Veterans in that 
readjustment.
    The Committee, comprised of 13 subject matter experts, advises the 
Secretary, through the VA Readjustment Counseling Service, on the 
provision by VA of benefits and services to assist Veterans in the 
readjustment to civilian life. In carrying out this duty, the Committee 
assembles, reviews, and assesses information relating to the needs of 
Veterans readjusting to civilian life and the effectiveness of VA 
services in assisting Veterans in that readjustment, specifically 
taking into account the needs of Veterans who served in combat theaters 
of operation.

accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(6). Exemption 6 permits the Committee 
to close a meeting that is likely to disclose information of a personal 
nature where disclosure would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion 
of personal privacy, which will most likely be the case throughout this 
field visit.
    On February 8, 2023, the agenda will include a visit with the 
Readjustment Counseling Team of the San Marcos Vet Center, 1 Civic

meeting will reconvene in an open session at the San Diego VA Regional 
Benefits Office located at 8810 Rio San Diego Drive, San Diego, CA
