Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under Public 
Law 92-463 (Federal Advisory Committee Act) that the Advisory Committee 
on OIF/OEF Veterans and Families will meet on May 14-16, 2007, at The

    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs on the full spectrum of health care, benefits delivery and

transition from active duty to veteran status and during their post-
service years. The Committee will focus on the concerns of all men and 
women with active military service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and/or 
Operation Enduring Freedom, but will pay particular attention to 
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 
presentations will focus on the ongoing activities of VA's Office of 
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.
    The meeting will include time reserved for public comments.
