The congressional review
and ratification process for the
Veterans Disability Commission
will be starting tomorrow.

The schedule we have right
now is as follows:

October 3, 2007 --- press
conference on Capitol Hill
Update Note: The press release
and electronic version of the
report to Congress announcing
the standing of the Fort
McClellan Veterans can be
found at their website:
http://www.vetscommission.org
click on the Future Meetings
page from the left menu.

Thanks to all who made this compelling
national announcement possible
and supported us through this
time in our patient history.
Efforts have now begun at the
VA Environmental Office, the DOD,
and House and Senate Committees
to mobilize our transition into
VA oversight and management as
the newest nationally recognized
chemical exposure patient group.


October 10, 2007 ---- Review hearing
at House Veterans Affairs
Committee. Live audio coverage
of this hearing will be on
the Internet. Go to:
http://www.house.gov and
select the Veterans Committee
on the top tab. On the left
menu of the Home Page, click
on AUDIO. Select Room 334
and turn up the volume on
your computer.

October 17, 2007 ---- Senate review
hearings at the Senate Veterans
Affairs Committee. This will be
a joint review of both the
VDBC Commission and the Shalala
Commission for Walter Reed.

I will be there in person for
the House and Senate hearings
but not the press conference
tomorrow. Fort McClellan Veterans
can plug into this process via the
updates I post here at Vets For
Justice.

Please view the Vets Commission
FORUM elsewhere on this webpage
for photos and such from the end
of term goodbye session. I hope
to have other photos from the
House hearing itself this week
which will be posted here at VFJ
later on.
