Veterans Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. We have filed a brief in which we attempt to provide an overview of the subject under study. Now I would like to provide some additional information and comments. I was unable to submit my statement earlier as I didn't finish it until yesterday.
