**Dr. James Allen Veteran Vision Equity Act of 2007**

**Public Law 110-157**

(H.R. 797)

**Title:** To amend title 38, United States Code, to improve
compensation benefits for veterans in certain cases of impairment of
vision involving both eyes, and for other purposes.

**Ms. Baldwin** of Wisconsin introduced H.R. 797 on February 5, 2007

**Public Law 110-157 will:**

1.  Allow veterans who receive veteran's disability compensation for
    impairment of vision in one eye to be eligible to receive additional
    disability compensation for impairment of vision in the eye that is
    not service-connected, where the impairment in each eye is to a
    visual acuity of 20/200 or less or of a peripheral field loss of 20
    degrees or less (the definition of "legal blindness" adopted by all
    50 states and the Social Security Administration.)

2.  Authorize the Secretary of Veterans Affairs and the Secretary of
    Health and Human Services (HHS), until September 30, 2011, to match
    and compare VA's needs-based pension benefits data, parents'
    dependency and indemnity compensation data, health-care services
    data, and unemployability compensation data with the National
    Directory of New Hires maintained by HHS, for the purpose of
    determining eligibility for such benefits and services (as
    recommended by GAO study GAO-06-309).

3.  Extend authorization of the veterans' work study program until 2010.

4.  Authorize VA to furnish, in lieu of a headstone or marker, a
    medallion or other device to signify a deceased's status as a
    veteran to be affixed to a headstone or marker purchased at private
    expense.

5.  Repeal the two-year limit during which a state can request a
    reimbursement for interment costs related to the unclaimed remains
    of a veteran and would make the repeal retroactive to October 1,
    2006, and authorize VA to provide up to \$5 million per year for
    establishing, expanding, improving, operating, and maintaining state
    veterans cemeteries.

6.  Repeal the December 31, 2007, termination date of the VA's authority
    to furnish a government headstone or marker for the grave of certain
    veterans buried in private cemeteries, notwithstanding that the
    grave is marked by a headstone or marker furnished at private
    expense.

**Effective Date:** Date of Enactment

**Cost:** The Congressional Budget Office has indicated that the text of
the resolution (making amendments to H.R. 797) would result, overall, in
cost savings of \$8 million over 5 years and \$1 million over 10 years.

**Summary of H.R. 1527, as amended**

**Rural Veterans Access to Care Act**

**Title:** To amend title 38, United States Code, to direct the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct a pilot program to permit
certain highly rural veterans enrolled in the health system of the
Department of Veterans Affairs to receive covered health services
through providers other than those of the Department.

**Mr. Moran** of Kansas introduced H.R. 1527 on March 14, 2007.

**H.R. 1527, as amended, would:**

1.  Require the Secretary to conduct a pilot program in four Veteran
    Integrated Services Networks (1, 15, 18 and 19) that would allow a
    highly rural veteran who is enrolled in the system of patient
    enrollment of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to elect to
    receive covered health services through a non-VA health care
    provider.

2.  Define a \"highly rural veteran\" as one who:

    a.  resides more than 60 miles from the nearest VA facility
        providing primary care services, more than 120 miles from a VA
        facility providing acute hospital care, or more than 240 miles
        from a VA facility providing tertiary care (depending on which
        services the veteran needs); or,

    b.  otherwise experiences such hardships or other difficulties in
        travel to the nearest appropriate VA facility that such travel
        is not in the best interest of the veteran.

**Effective Date:** Date of enactment

**Cost:** CBO estimates that the bill would cost \$1.6 billion over the
2009-2013 period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts.

**Legislative History:**

*[Immune Control Inc.]{.smallcaps}*

Stephen Roth, Ph.D.

David Zopf, M.D.

**Serotonin is required absolutely by dividing lymphocytes.**

Immune Control was founded on the observation that serotonin, 5-HT, is a
hitherto unrecognized growth factor for dividing, but not quiescent,
lymphocytes. In the absence of serotonin, or in the presence of specific
serotonin antagonists, activated T cells and dividing B cells rapidly
undergo apoptotic cell death. Early on, cells can be rescued from death
only by serotonin. Melatonin, tryptophan, tryptophan analogues, and
other neurotransmitters do not rescue serotonin-deprived cells.

Currently, the company is testing an approved antagonist in patients
with multiple myeloma, a plasma cell malignancy (B lineage) that occurs
predominantly in bone marrow. Immune Control is also screening new
antagonists looking for compounds that similarly kill dividing immune
cells, but are free of CNS side effects. Some of these new compounds
have already proved effective in rodent models of two autoimmune
diseases---rheumatoid arthritis and asthma.

Although the number and characterization of immune 5-HT receptors remain
largely unknown, the sequence of at least one immune 5-HT receptor is
different from all CNS receptors.

With the potential ability to kill only activated immune cells, Immune
Control's approach could yield treatments that eliminate only specific
and pathologic lymphocyte populations, leaving the rest of the immune
system unaffected. All autoimmune diseases, organ transplant rejection,
and hematologic cancers are potential target indications.

Re: MB Docket No. 05-317

Dear Ms. Edmundson:

By letter dated April 30, 2008, West Virginia Media Holdings, LLC,
licensee of WBOY-TV, Clarksburg, West Virginia requested an extension of
its waiver of Section 339(a)(2)(D) of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, to prohibit satellite subscribers from receiving or conducting
a digital signal strength test of WBOY-DT's digital signal.[^1] The
Commission granted the original digital signal testing waiver based on
the fact that the station's digital signal coverage was limited due to
the necessity to use a side mounted antenna.[^2] The Commission has
granted the licensee one six-month extension.[^3] In its most recent
extension request, the licensee states that the circumstances justifying
a waiver still exist and that it is prevented from installing a top
mounted digital antenna because its analog antenna is currently
installed in that position.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the request of West Virginia Media
holdings IS GRANTED and the first permissible date for digital testing
for WBOY-DT IS EXTENDED six months, from June 15, 2008 to December 15,
2008. If a further extension is needed, a request must be filed by
October 15, 2008.

Sincerely,

Barbara A. Kreisman

**FSAfety News**

**October 2008**

**FSAfety News** is an informational bulletin from the U.S. Department
of Education\'s Federal Student Aid office. **FSAfety News** will bring
you important information concerning IT security and privacy issues.
This issue focuses on safeguarding personal details that can be used to
recover your passwords to important online sites, such as your email
account.

Recently, someone broke into GOP VP Candidate Sarah Palin\'s webmail
account. It was a simple hack -- one that required little to no
technical expertise. The "hacker" used Yahoo!\'s password recovery
feature, and then proceeded to fill in the answers using Wikipedia and
Google.

The lesson is this: All a malicious person needs is to access a
Wikipedia page -- or a Facebook, MySpace, or similar social networking
page -- and you, too, could have your emails spread all across the
Internet -- or have your identity stolen, if it's a bank or credit card
company account instead of an email account. Posting common information
about yourself and then using pieces of that same information when
logging into your online account is asking for trouble.

If your online account allows you to create your own "Golden Questions,"
choose something that you haven't posted on line elsewhere. If your
online account uses only canned questions, make sure to remove the
answers to those questions from your Facebook or MySpace pages. Don't
give out your first pet's name or your first street address (to name two
common "Golden Questions").

And if you need to put those pieces of information on your MySpace page,
please [don't choose the same information]{.underline} to log into your
account. If you have already posted this kind of information online, try
disguising the response by changing the answers (since you can't change
the "golden questions"). You can, for instance, use something different
from the real thing, such as changing your first pet's name from
"Fluffy" to "Fluppy" -- it's a change only you would know, but is not
that far from the real answer. The question prompt from the
password-recovery utility will trigger you to remember the changed
answer, thus keeping your account, and your identity, safer.

Environmental Administrator

Polk County Health Department

Bartow, FL 33830-6741

## Biography

Tim Mayer currently serves as the Environmental Administrator for the
Polk County Health Department, in Polk County, Florida. He began his
career in 1982 as a field inspector in Monroe County Florida, the
Florida Keys. He transferred to the Polk County Health Department (his
hometown) in 1989. In 1993, he accepted the position as Environmental
Specialist III at the State Health Office, Bureau of Onsite Sewage
Programs, in Tallahassee. He was appointed Environmental Administrator
of the Polk County Health Department in the fall of 2000.

Tim was awarded a Bachelors of Science in Biological Sciences from
Florida State University in 1980 and a Masters of Public Health in
Environmental and Occupational Health from the University of South
Florida in 1997. He received his certificate as a Registered Sanitarian
in 1992.

In his over 23 years of service, he has served on a wide variety of
local and statewide committees and associations, most recently
completing a term as President of the Florida Environmental Health
Association. He administers a staff of over 35 in all Environmental
Health programs in Polk County, a county larger in area than the state
of Rhode Island.

## What I Learned at EPHLI 

I'll admit that I had absolutely no idea what I was getting myself into
or what to expect when I started this fellowship. I found the sessions
and assignments time consuming and intense, but tremendously beneficial.
I had been successful (or so I thought) at what I was doing. I had been
working off intuition and what I thought was the best way to do things.
Some of the concepts presented during the year were vaguely familiar and
some were totally new.

As the year progressed and we worked through the assignments and our
projects, I found there was a lot I didn't know. I was stretched to open
my eyes about myself and others. I am now much more aware of my own
strengths and weaknesses and how to use each of them as an asset. The
Institute helped me to a fuller understanding of system dynamics, how
things fit and can affect other things, and how these relationships can
be used to enhance a wide variety of circumstances. With the tools I now
have, I am better equipped to perform my responsibilities as a leader,
an administrator, and as a person.

# **Administration indicates support for FPI reform**

WASHINGTON - In a letter from Office of Management and Budget Director
Mitch Daniels, Jr., the Bush Administration indicated its support for
passage of comprehensive reform of Federal Prison Industries,
Congressman Pete Hoekstra today announced.

"We are encouraged by this expression of support, and hope it will
become a strong force in winning passage of an FPI reform bill that
eliminates FPI's monopoly on the federal market," said Hoekstra,
R-Holland. "Allowing federal agencies, rather than FPI, to make
purchasing decisions on products and services is good for federal
managers, good for businesses and law-abiding workers, and good for
American taxpayers."

In a letter sent to Congressman Mac Collins, R-GA, a lead cosponsor of
H.R. 1577, the Hoekstra-Franks-Collins-Maloney Federal Prison Industries
Competition in Contracting Act, Daniels announced Administration support
for a provision in the 2002 Defense Authorization bill, sponsored by
Sens. Carl Levin, D-Mich., and John Warner, R-Va., that allows Defense
buyers to seek the best value on their purchases.

The letter also indicates the Administration\'s willingness to work with
Congress to pass a comprehensive FPI reform bill that ends FPI's
mandatory source privilege with the government.

"The Administration is encouraged by this initial step to reform FPI and
believes that all Federal agencies should have the flexibility through
competition to purchase quality goods and services at fair and
reasonable prices with the expectation of timely performance," Daniels
wrote. "The Administration is anxious to work with the Congress to
develop FPI reform legislation. We envision such legislation would
establish a comprehensive program that provides the Attorney General
with the authority to maintain adequate work opportunities at Federal
prisons, that addresses purchases by Federal agencies, and that phases
out the mandatory source provision."

The Daniel's letter follows a December press conference where House
Judiciary Chairman F. James Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., called on Congress to
give "favorable consideration" to Hoekstra's FPI reform bill, of which
he is a cosponsor.

The letter itself was sent in late October, but its delivery to Collins
was delayed until last week due to mail restrictions in the House.
Hoekstra said the delayed delivery does not impact the Administration's
support for comprehensive FPI reform.

"Our effort to pass a comprehensive reform bill is an ongoing effort,"
Hoekstra said.

H.R. 1577 has garnered wide support with 122 cosponsors on both sides of
the aisle. It is strongly backed by a broad coalition that includes
business associations, led by the U.S. Chamber; labor unions, led by the
AFL-CIO; and federal managers, represented by the federal managers
association.

The bill is currently undergoing consideration in the House Judiciary
Committee.

 **DOD ANNOUNCES FORCE ADJUSTMENTS**

As a result of the President's Iraq strategy review, the Department of
Defense announced today an increase of 20,000 U.S. military forces for
Operation Iraqi Freedom.

Specific decisions made by the Secretary of Defense include:

The 2^nd^ Brigade, 82^nd^ Airborne Division, based at Fort Bragg, N.C.,
and currently assigned as the call forward force in Kuwait, will move
into Iraq and assume a security mission there.

The 1^st^ Brigade, 34^th^ Infantry Division, Minnesota Army National
Guard, will be extended in its current mission for up to 125 days until
approximately August 2007.

The 4^th^ Brigade, 1^st^ Infantry Division, based at Ft. Riley, Kan.,
will deploy in February 2007 as previously
[announced.](http://www.defenselink.mil/Releases/Release.aspx?ReleaseID=10195)

Three other Army combat brigades will deploy as follows:

-   The 3^rd^ Brigade, 3^rd^ Infantry Division, based at Ft. Benning,
    Ga., will deploy in March 2007.

-   The 4^th^ Stryker Brigade, 2^nd^ Infantry Division, based at Ft.
    Lewis, Wash., will deploy in April 2007.

-   The 2^nd^ Brigade, 3^rd^ Infantry Division, based at Ft. Stewart,
    Ga., will deploy in May 2007.

The Marine Corps will extend two reinforced infantry battalions for
approximately 60 days. Additionally, the 15^th^ Marine Expeditionary
Unit (Special Operations Capable) will remain in Iraq for approximately
45 additional days.

Other combat-support and combat-service-support units may also be
deployed as necessary once new requirements are assessed.

The additional forces will help Iraqis clear and secure neighborhoods
while protecting the local population. These actions will build the
capacity available to commanders to 20 brigade or regimental combat
teams to assist in achieving stability and security and accelerate Iraqi
Security Force development.

Finally, USS Stennis Carrier Strike Group and the 3^rd^ Battalion,
43^rd^ Air Defense Regiment will deploy to the region to bolster
security.

These deployments reflect the continued commitment of the United States
to the security of the Iraqi people. In consultation with the Iraqi
government, commanders will continue to assess the situation and make
recommendations about the appropriate force levels that best support the
Iraqi government.

The Department recognizes the continued sacrifices of these units and
their family members.

For information about the units announced today or other units involved
in this rotation, please contact Army Public Affairs at (703) 692-2000,
Marine Corps Public Affairs at (703) 614-4309 or Navy Public Affairs at
(703) 697-5342.

Subject: unfair tax law

Sir/Madam:

Please consider a revision to the current tax laws regarding employee
funds used to pay for insurance for domestic partners. With the current
laws, employees pay income and payroll tax on the health insurance
premiums their employers provide for domestic partners who do not
otherwise qualify as dependents. Benefits for different-sex spouses are
not subject to this tax.

Thank you.

Subject: RE: Adverse Tax Treatment

Attached please find a letter we sent to Senator Barbara Boxer
concerning unfair and unequal tax treatment concerning our health
insurance benefit provided by the Directors Guild of America to Domestic
Partners nationwide. We pay the standard \$600 annual fee like married
couples but the Federal government treats our insurance, as a same sex
couple, as a benefit and taxes us. Please help change this unfair
discrimination.

Regards,

Walter Batt and Robert Kohrherr

Since we wrote this letter to Senator Boxer\'s office, I have received
no follow up call despite my repeated efforts at contacting her office.
The annual tax discrimination was recently raised to \$2636/annually; a
17% increase in one year and \$2636 MORE than a married couple with the
SAME benefit. A married couple does NOT have to pay this tax. HELP!

Senator Boxer's Office

San Francisco, CA

My name is Walter Batt. I am a constituent of Senator Boxer's. My issue
is:

Under the Directors Guild of America Health Insurance Plan (DGA), I am
covered as a dependent on my domestic partner's account. The DGA charges
us a \$600 annual fee AND State and Federal tax totaling over \$2,200.
Married couples jointly insured on the plan pay only the \$600 fee but
not any State or Federal tax. The Federal government considers the
insurance a benefit to domestic partners but not to married couples.
Under the newly enacted legislation by the State of California, we
should only pay the same \$600 fee amount married couples pay. The DGA
says it is a Federal issue and not a State issue therefore we are
required to pay the State and Federal tax together.

1\. Is this true that it is a Federal issue only?

2\. Can the DGA assess us a State tax as a benefit under Federal tax
guidelines even though State legislation forbids it?

As you are aware, the laws covering domestic partnership in California
are expanding on January 1, 2005. I am not sure the changes effective
this date affects the answer to my question but I wanted to mention this
fact in case it does.

Thank you in advance for your help on this important issue affecting
hundreds of domestic partners all over the country.

Regards,

Walter Batt
