The Keeping the Promise document was not specifically based on our going out and doing direct interviewing. We drew on a large number of studies of veterans and older adults that have been done both by committee members and other people in North America and elsewhere, to put together the report. So the work was based on research done by the department, on work done by other organizations, and by input from the veterans organizations, particularly those that are members of the advisory committee.
