# FEDERAL OFFFICIALS PARTICIPATE IN FUNDING PRESENTATION

*[South Eastern Development Foundation Receives Loan for New and
Expanding Local Businesses]{.underline}*

**(Huron, South Dakota -- May 23, 2006)** USDA Rural Development State
Director Lynn D. Jensen presented federal funding to the South Eastern
Development Foundation to support business development activities. USDA
Rural Development intermediary relending program (IRP) loan funds of
\$500,000 will be leveraged with an applicant contribution of \$166,666
for a total of \$666,666 which will recapitalize an existing revolving
loan fund.

"I am pleased our funds will help the South Eastern Development
Foundation recapitalize its revolving loan fund to assist with business
development and job creation in its servicing area in Clay, Lincoln,
McCook, Minnehaha, Turner and Union Counties," said State Director Lynn
D. Jensen.

The South Eastern Development Foundation is a regional non-profit
development corporation. The Foundation provides financing for
equipment, inventory, buildings, working capital, and leasehold
improvements. The Foundation works in conjunction with local lenders to
fill the "gap" that often exists when business owners do not have enough
equity to invest in starting or expanding their business.

The Foundation has obligated eleven business loans in the six county
region for a total of \$1,047,592 with over \$400,000 being provided to
lenders from previous IRP funding received in 2004. One hundred and
forty-seven jobs were created or retained through these efforts.
Additional applications are pending with several applications being
presented to the Board of Directors on an ongoing basis.

"The IRP investment from Rural Development has been critical to the
success of the Foundation's revolving loan fund. This loan provides our
organization with affordable capital. We are able to use that capital to
assist local business owners which in turn creates additional jobs in
the region. State Rural Development Director, Lynn Jensen, and his staff
are to be commended for the work they do for rural South Dakota," said
Lynne Keller, Executive Director of the South Eastern Development
Foundation.

USDA Rural Development has ten offices in the state that assist rural
communities. Office locations include a state office in Huron, along
with area offices in Aberdeen, Huron, Mitchell, Pierre, Rapid City,
Sioux Falls, Sturgis, Watertown, and Yankton.

USDA Rural Development's mission is to deliver programs in a way that
will support increasing economic opportunity and improve the quality of
life of rural residents. As a venture capital entity, Rural Development
provides equity and technical assistance to finance and foster growth in
homeownership, business development, and critical community and
technology infrastructure. Further information on rural programs is
available at a local USDA Rural Development office or by visiting USDA's
web site at <http://www/rurdev.usda.gov>.

Subject: Request for comments

Honorable panel members:

I don\'t envy the task you have before you. It is unfortunate that there
are so many adversarial viewpoints as to the best way to fund the
government. I think that in discussions about taxes and tax reform, that
central idea (funding the government) is not the central focus of the
discussion, even though, after all, that really is the primary purpose
of government taking money from the citizens it serves. I often wonder
what would have happened if the 16th amendment had not been ratified.
Unfortunately, at that time, the will of the people was to ignore the
wisdom of the founding fathers, who specifically warned against taxing
income. I would suggest that it is now time to acknowledge that wisdom
and stop taxing income. I believe it would be far better to institute a
national sales tax \-- as proposed in HR25 and S25, also known as the
FairTax. The FairTax will untax the poor, lift the burden of compliance
from individuals and corporations, unleash the American economy, and be
revenue neutral. I strongly urge you to discuss the FairTax with the
author of the bill, Congressman John Linder and to put this plan at the
top of your list of proposals.

Sincerely,

John A. Kozan

**2008 MOTORCYCLE SAFETY AWARENESS MONTH PLANNER**

**SAMPLE PROCLAMATION**

A Proclamation by **\[official title\]**:

*WHEREAS*, in 2006, motorcycle rider fatalities increased for the ninth
straight year and motorcycle riders now make up one out of every nine of
all U.S. road fatalities; and

*WHEREAS*, motorcycle rider fatalities now account for 11 percent of
total fatalities, and dramatically affect the Nation's overall highway
fatality rate.

*WHEREAS*, May 2008 is being commemorated as Motorcycle Safety Awareness
Month; and

*WHEREAS*, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), in 2006, 4,810 motorcyclists lost their lives
and 88,000 motorcyclists were injured in traffic crashes; and

*WHEREAS*, in 2006, there were 2,226 two-vehicle fatal crashes involving
a motorcycle and another type of vehicle. In 40 percent of these crashes
the other vehicle was turning left while the motorcycle was going
straight, passing, or overtaking the vehicle. Both vehicles were going
straight in 582 (26%) crashes.

*WHEREAS*, approximately 80 percent of motorcycle crashes injure or kill
a motorcycle rider, while only 20 percent of passenger car crashes
injure or kill a driver or passenger in the vehicle; and

*WHEREAS*, in the event of a crash, the drivers of other vehicles
involved often say they never saw the motorcyclist and were unable to
respond in time;

*NOW, THEREFORE, I*, **\[name and title of local official\]**, in
recognition of this life-saving opportunity, join the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration and others to proclaim May 2008,

*Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month*

In **\[name of locality\]** and do encourage the entire community to
observe the month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities
to increase passenger vehicle operators' awareness and attention in
order to help significantly reduce the number of deaths and serious
injuries to motorcyclists from roadway crashes. All motorists are
reminded to "Share the Road" with motorcycles and to be extra alert when
driving to help keep motorcyclists safe.

**STATEMENT BY DR. JOHN CLIFFORD ON H5N2 DETECTION IN WEST VIRGINIA**

**April 1, 2007**

"On Saturday, March 31, 2007, our National Veterinary Services
Laboratories confirmed that test results for samples collected the day
before from turkeys at a farm in West Virginia are indicative of
exposure to an H5N2 avian influenza virus. We can say for certain that
this is not the highly pathogenic H5N1 virus that has spread through
birds in Asia, Europe and Africa. Every indication is that the virus is
consistent with low pathogenic strains of avian influenza, or LPAI,
which are commonly found in birds and typically cause only minor
sickness or no noticeable symptoms. LPAI viruses pose no risk to human
health.

"The samples were collected by an industry group as part of routine,
pre-slaughter surveillance. The turkeys showed no signs of illness and
there was no mortality. NVSL plans to run sequencing and pathogenicity
tests to further identify the virus.

"This evening, West Virginia officials will depopulate the turkey flock
from which the positive samples were taken, which includes approximately
25,000 birds. While LPAI poses no risk to human health, USDA\'s policy
is to eradicate all H5 and H7 subtypes because of their potential to
mutate into highly pathogenic avian influenza, which has a high
mortality rate among birds. Additionally, all poultry operations within
a six mile radius of the affected farm will be closely monitored.

"International animal health standards now require countries to report
all H5 and H7 detections. USDA will notify the World Organization for
Animal Health, or OIE, of the H5N2 detection in West Virginia. This
detection should not significantly impact U.S. exports of poultry and
poultry products. International standards call for a regionalized
approach to trade restrictions and USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service
will work closely with trading partners to ensure any trade restrictions
are based on science and lifted at the appropriate time.

"Because the affected poultry producer participates in the expanded
National Poultry Improvement Plan (NPIP), USDA will provide 100 percent
indemnity for all specified costs associated with depopulating this
flock. USDA published an interim rule on September 26, 2006, expanding
the voluntary cooperative federal, state and industry program to provide
indemnity for eradication of H5 and H7 LPAI outbreaks. We will also
provide support in the depopulation process.

"USDA remains committed to transparency as we monitor for all strains of
avian influenza. We will continue to work closely with state partners
and the poultry industry in this effort."

**[Tool/Technology Details]{.underline}**

**Description of Tool/Technology** : A tool for unit testing C++
classes, libraries and subsystems. CTA++ is simple to use and provides
very powerful features helping the tester to build the testing
environments and running the tests on C++ code. The testing process
becomes efficient, visible and organized - as required in a professional
testing environment.

**Commercial or Research :** Commercial

**Associated Program :**      

**Potential Benefits**: CTA++ is an ideal tool to build and execute
flexible, yet powerful test suites on C++ code. Also C code can be
tested; applies to S/W Assurance.

**Supported Platforms (PC, Linux, etc)**: Basically Windows, Linux,
Solaris, HPUX. But with some certain specified C++ compiler brands and
versions only. See www.testwell.fi/avail.html. Early info: Support on
Visual Studio 2005 (VC++ 8.0) is to be released sometimes soon.

**Required Inputs** (You must have compilable code under test. In CTA++
System there is a utility to generate stub implementations, code
skeletons, based on header files on the units that you wish to emulate
with stubs in the CTA++ test bed)

**Outputs Produced** Textual trace file showing the progress of the test
runs and the

failed assertions. The trace file can be converted into HTML, where also
some useful navigation links are present.

**[Maturity Level]{.underline}**

**Applied to Real Problems?** Yes No

**If Yes, Level of Success Achieved**

**Already in Use within NASA?** Yes No

**If Yes, at what center(s)**

**[Support]{.underline}**

**User/Ref. Documentation Available** Yes (User\'s Guide)

**Phone Support Available** Yes

**Is Tech Developer willing to support infusion effort?** Yes No

**[Licensing]{.underline}**

**Is Tech Developer willing to provide Evaluation Copy for extended
period of time?** Yes No

**[Other Information]{.underline}**

CTA++ is a test harnessing tool, a test execution framework for unit
testing. In unit testing there is also a need to measure code coverage.
For it we have another tool, Testwell CTC++, which can be used together
with CTA++. CTC++ is not so strict on the used C or C++ compiler, e.g.
it not so sensitive on used compiler version number. CTC++ usage
(measuring of the code coverage) bends also to the test runs at various
targets (CTC++ Host-Target add-on component is needed), while CTA++ does
not bend to.
**Subpart L---Alcohol Screening Tests**

**§ 40.241   What are the first steps in any alcohol screening test?**

As the BAT or STT you will take the following steps to begin all alcohol
screening tests, regardless of the type of testing device you are using:

\(a\) When a specific time for an employee\'s test has been scheduled,
or the collection site is at the employee\'s worksite, and the employee
does not appear at the collection site at the scheduled time, contact
the DER to determine the appropriate interval within which the DER has
determined the employee is authorized to arrive. If the employee\'s
arrival is delayed beyond that time, you must notify the DER that the
employee has not reported for testing. In a situation where a C/TPA has
notified an owner/operator or other individual employee to report for
testing and the employee does not appear, the C/TPA must notify the
employee that he or she has refused to test.

\(b\) Ensure that, when the employee enters the alcohol testing site,
you begin the alcohol testing process without undue delay. For example,
you must not wait because the employee says he or she is not ready or
because an authorized employer or employee representative is delayed in
arriving.

\(1\) If the employee is also going to take a DOT drug test, you must,
to the greatest extent practicable, ensure that the alcohol test is
completed before the urine collection process begins.

\(2\) If the employee needs medical attention (e.g., an injured employee
in an emergency medical facility who is required to have a post-accident
test), do not delay this treatment to conduct a test.

\(c\) Require the employee to provide positive identification. You must
see a photo ID issued by the employer (other than in the case of an
owner-operator or other self-employer individual) or a Federal, state,
or local government (e.g., a driver\'s license). You may not accept
faxes or photocopies of identification. Positive identification by an
employer representative (not a co-worker or another employee being
tested) is also acceptable. If the employee cannot produce positive
identification, you must contact a DER to verify the identity of the
employee.

\(d\) If the employee asks, provide your identification to the employee.
Your identification must include your name and your employer\'s name but
is not required to include your picture, address, or telephone number.

\(e\) Explain the testing procedure to the employee, including showing
the employee the instructions on the back of the ATF.

\(f\) Complete Step 1 of the ATF.

\(g\) Direct the employee to complete Step 2 on the ATF and sign the
certification. If the employee refuses to sign this certification, you
must document this refusal on the "Remarks" line of the ATF and
immediately notify the DER. This is a refusal to test.
Questions/Answers to 03-C3D-002

The following questions and their answers were submitted in response to
03-C3D-002.

**Q.** What material is to be used( by one of;Mil#, UNS,
AISI,SAE,ASTM,ASM)

**A.** Alloy is commercially know as :\"IMI 834\", a high temperature
titanium alloy. Isothermal forging is required. Post-heat treatments of
the forgings in the alpha-beta phase field to produce a fine alpha-beta
structure is required and will be agreed between vendor and NASA.

**Q.** Finished dimensions to be protected:

**A.** 1. Thin isothermally forged pancake 2\" thick x 15\" dia.

2\. Thick isothermally forged pancake 6\" thick x 15\" dia

**Q.** Are the billets provided by another source or should we include
the cost of the billets.

**A.** Vendor will procure/purchase good quality billets with low oxygen
content and impurities (Fe, Ni, Cr). Vendor will follow established
steps to prepare and heat treat Ti-alloy stock material. Billets should
be free of defects prior to forging; the use of die lubrication and
stock coatings is required. If multiple forging steps are used, vendor
shall remove any oxide layer between successive forging operations.
Vendor will provide forging steps and final chemistry of forgings.
EXPLORING THE PHYLOGENETIC DIVERSITY OF THE HOMESTAKE GOLD MINE, LEAD,
SD. [E. J. Waddell]{.underline}^1^ and S.S Bang^\*1^, South Dakota

Engineering, Rapid City, SD 57701, <sookie.bang@sdsmt.edu>

16s rDNA sequence studies are efficient and economical ways to determine
population compositions, especially in extreme environments where the
isolation and growth of microorganisms is difficult or impossible. In
previous work, samples from water and rock particulates ("soil") were
collected from the Homestake Gold Mine, Lead, SD, which is currently
being converted to a Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory
supported by the National Science Foundation. DNA extracted from these
samples was then used to construct clone libraries for both *Archaea*
and *Bacteria*. The focus of this study was analysis of the sequenced
libraries. Using the Bellerophon server and VecScreen system, sequences
were processed for chimeric artifacts and vector contamination,
respectively. Then, sequence sets were aligned using the ClustalW
algorithm and phylograms were constructed using MEGA 4.0, for which
neighbor-joining trees with the Jukes-Cantor method of inference were
used. The results show that the majority of both the water and soil
bacteria sets are *Proteobacteria*, with the *β-proteobacteria* class
most prevalent in water, and the *γ-proteobacteria* class predominant in
soil. In addition, a number of sequences in the soil set closely relate
to *Lysobacter*, a genus known for producing novel antibiotics, while
other sequences group closely to organisms which produce heat stable
proteases (e.g. *Chryseobacterium*) or cellulolytic enzymes (e.g.
*Dyella*). Overall, the bacterial populations show a high degree of
uniqueness, although their diversity is low. The *Archaea* sequence sets
show distinct grouping based on the sample origin. This, along with a
dearth of reference sequence similarity, suggests the possibility of
divergent Archaeal populations with novel organisms.

This study was supported in part by the SD NASA EPSCoR RIG Program.

1999. Many applicants are not paying the processing fee and submitting
the required exhibits for these electronic applications on a timely
basis. Several weeks often elapse between the filing of the electronic
application (731) form and the receipt of the processing fee or the
required exhibits. These practices are causing unnecessary delays in the
processing of applications for equipment authorization.

An application for equipment authorization requires the payment of the
fee listed in Section 1.1103 of the FCC Rules for that type of
equipment. If a paper application was received without a fee payment, it
would be dismissed and returned to the applicant because the fee is
delinquent. With electronic filing, the fee is paid separately from the
application either on-line via credit card or via paper submitted to
Equipment Approval Services. If the fee is paid promptly and correctly,
the payment can be tracked via computer. However, if the fee is not paid
promptly or is paid incorrectly, the payment must be tracked manually.
Manual tracking of tardy or incorrect fee payments wastes valuable staff
and processing time for all applications.

An application for equipment authorization must also be accompanied by
the information described in Section 2.1033 of the FCC Rules. If a paper
application was received without this required information, it would be
considered incomplete and would be returned to the applicant for
resubmission. With electronic filing, it is impossible to return an
incomplete application and have it resubmitted. As a result, requesting
this required information delays the processing of all applications for
equipment authorization.

Accordingly, fifteen days after the date of this Public Notice, the
Commission's OET may dismiss any electronic application that has
delinquent fees fifteen days after the application (731) form is
completed on-line. In addition, this office of the Commission may also
dismiss any electronic application that is missing the required
information from Section 2.1033 of the Rules five days after the
application form is completed on-line. This action should have the
following two results: (1) applicants will pay this processing fee
promptly, and (2) applicants will file all necessary information
promptly and thereby minimize any delays in the processing of equipment
authorization applications.

ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STANDARDS OF CONDUCT AND THE TABLE OF
OFFENSES AND CONDUCT

Q: Is it okay for me to show my ID and/or badge to a law enforcement
officer if I am stopped for a traffic violation?

A: No. Employees will not use any CBP identification in a manner which
may give the impression that they are using the identification for
personal benefit, attempting to exert undue influence, or to obtain,
directly or indirectly, a favor, a reward, or preferential treatment for
themselves or others, or to improperly enhance their own image.

Q: If I am authorized access to automated law enforcement systems, can I
query the systems to obtain information about a child-care provider I'm
thinking about hiring.

A: No. You can obtain information about a person only if you have an
official need to know such information to perform your own duties.
Unauthorized accessing of these systems, including "browsing" (querying
the systems for information for other than official reasons) and
disclosing information from these systems for other than official and
authorized purposes, are prohibited.

# 

Q: As long as I make timely monthly payments on my government travel
card, is it okay to carry a balance owed?

A: No, in accordance with the travel card agreement provisions that you
signed when you obtained the card, employees must pay their balance in
full when due each month.

Q: At work, I sometimes use racial slurs when I am talking with a
co-worker who I know won't take offense. Why should this be a problem
then?

A: Since you are in a public work setting, someone who may find it
offensive may overhear such language. Such language is inappropriate and
unprofessional and therefore should be avoided.

Q: The Standards of Conduct prohibit CBP employees from knowingly and
inappropriately associating with certain individuals, including illegal
aliens. I hired an individual to mow my lawn and I have no idea what his
immigration or citizenship status is. Is a business relationship
considered to be inappropriate association? Can I be disciplined for
violating this provision of the Standards of Conduct?

A: The key word here is "knowingly". If there is evidence that you knew
that the individual is in this country illegally, then yes, you may be
disciplined for violating this provision. That's not to say that a
"don't ask, don't tell" stance will protect you from being charged with
this violation in all situations. It would be prudent for you to ask to
see the papers establishing either citizenship or lawful immigration
status of [any]{.underline} persons that you employ, if you have any
reason to believe that they are not in the US legally.

Representatives, Feb. 21^st^, 1787.***

[To the Honourable the Senate and House of Representatives, in General
Court assembled, February 21, 1787.]{.underline}

THE Petition of JOHN CHALONER, formerly of Boston, but lately of
Greenfield, in the county of Hampshire, and now of Springfield, *humbly
sheweth*; That in the late war between Great-Britain and America, almost
all his near relations left their country, and fled to the British: That
he remained, and early took arms in the cause of his country; served
several years as Sergeant-Major, in the Artillery, in Col. *Crane's*
Regiment, and Captain *Sergeant's* Company; from which service he had an
honourable discharge: That since that time he has been keeping a small
School in Greenfield: And when orders were issued by Gen. *Shepard*, to
the militia to repair to Springfield, on the 18^th^ ult. he cheerfully
turned out as a volunteer, conceiving it his duty as a citizen, to
defend, with his life, a constitution of government which he supposes
calculated to secure freedom to all, and to the poor as well as rich,
the full enjoyment of honest earnings. Immediately after his arrival in
Springfield, he engaged under Capt. *Stevens*, to manage a piece of
Artillery -- and when Shays with his party were advancing toward the
publick Arsenal, after having fired his piece four or five times, he
unfortunately mistook the discharge of the next piece to him for his
own, and at the moment his own was touched, he stepped forward to
cleanse and load it, by which means he had both his arms blown off,
nearly to his shoulders, his face and eyes mangled in a most distressing
manner. Your Petitioner, had one of his arms been spared, would still
most cheerfully use it in defence, of the government, if required; if
not, he might possibly acquire a living with it, by keeping his school;
but as his situation now is (without the ability to act) he can only
*wish* for the peace and prosperity of the Commonwealth, and rely on
such provison for support, as your Honours in your wisdom and mercy,
shall see fit to make for him; for such provision he humbly petitions.

OPENING STATEMENT

"Is Iraq Reconstruction Failing?"

Stuart W. Bowen, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction,

Office of the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction.

2172 RHOB

Mr. Chairman, thank you for calling this important hearing and I welcome
to our distinguished witness.

Mr. Bowen, I appreciate your service and your efforts to safeguard
taxpayer dollars and to highlight areas where we need to improve our
efforts. Reform, transparency, and best practices are good medicine for
any government, whether it is the one year old Maliki Government, in the
case of Iraq, or 231 years old, like ours. Mr. Bowen's sixteen trips to
Iraq have shed a great deal of light on the challenges there and how we
can improve our delivery of aid as well.

I share probably everyone in this body's concern about the fact that the
Government of Iraq has not expended such a large percentage of its
Capital budget; Mr. Bowen's findings put it at about eighteen percent of
their budget expended (but, of course, 100 percent of salaries). Clearly
this must improve and Iraq's leaders must show progress in this area.

I additionally am concerned about the corruption highlighted in the oil
industry; Mr. Bowen's testimony estimates that about one-seventh of the
oil export may be lost because of smuggling and fraud. This is an
alarming development.

But we should not lose sight of the forest for the trees. I appreciate
Mr. Bowen's direct answer to the question posed in our hearing today.
"Is Reconstruction Failing?" He says, QUOTE The short answer is \"no\".
CLOSE QUOTE.

We are not failing and we will not fail, as the Good Book says, if we
"faint not."

Mr. Bowen's testimony makes clear that the sticking point for much of
our efforts and the Iraqi government's efforts is the security
situation. Without basic security, the reconstruction efforts face long
odds. I'm optimistic about the direction our efforts have taken under
the new leadership of General Petraeus, and I believe that it is
critical that we give him the tools he needs to succeed.

Where reconstruction and security meet is in the Commander's Emergency
Response Program (CERP) which allows local projects at the discretion of
small unit leaders. I wholeheartedly support this effort. I had occasion
to be briefed on the preliminary progress being made by our troops in
Ramadi and Tikrit on a congressional delegation trip there last month.
CERP projects are critical tools in their efforts to stabilize the
country.

I also appreciate Mr. Bowen's efforts to give credit where it is due.
His testimony makes it clear that various entities, notably the Multi
National Forces-Iraq, improved their product in consultation with his
efforts.

Mr. Chairman, I believe that despite the setbacks, challenges, and
shortfalls, we have good news. I thank our witness for his efforts in
improving and reforming our efforts in Iraq, and I thank you for calling
this hearing. I look forward to his testimony.

Dear Mr. Aburn:

On June 18, 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Maryland State Implementation Plan (SIP) from
the Maryland Department of the Environment. The SIP revision pertains to
the amendments to control VOC emissions from Portable Fuel Containers.
EPA has determined that the submittal is administratively and
technically complete, and is being reviewed to prepare a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPR).

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to
Gobeail McKinley, Air Quality Planning Branch at (215) 814-2033. She is
the principal contact for this rulemaking.

Sincerely,

/s/ David Arnold for

**§14.635 Office space and facilities.**

The Secretary may furnish office space and facilities, if available, in
buildings owned or occupied by the Department of Veterans Affairs, for
the use of paid full-time representatives of recognized national
organizations, and for employees of recognized State organizations who
are accredited to national organizations, for purposes of assisting
claimants in the preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims
for Department of Veterans Affairs benefits.

\(a\) Request for office space should be made by an appropriate official
of the organization to the Director of the Department of Veterans
Affairs facility in which space is desired and should set forth:

\(1\) The number of full-time paid representatives who will be
permanently assigned to the office;

\(2\) The number of secretarial or other support staff who will be
assigned to the office;

\(3\) The number of claimants for whom the organization holds powers of
attorney whose claims are within the jurisdiction of the facility or who
reside in the area served by the facility, the number of such claimants
whose claims are pending, and the number of claims prosecuted during the
previous three years; and

\(4\) Any other information the organization deems relevant to the
allocation of office space.

\(b\) When in the judgment of the Director office space and facilities
previously granted could be better used by the Department of Veterans
Affairs, or would receive more effective use or serve more claimants if
allocated to another recognized national organization, the Director may
withdraw such space or reassign such space to another organization. In
the case of a facility under the control of the Veterans Benefits
Administration or the Veterans Health Administration, the final decision
on such matters will be made by the Under Secretary for Benefits or the
Under Secretary for Health, respectively. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501(a),
