Testimony Summary

Before the Committee on Veteran's Affairs United States senate Regarding The Department of Veterans Affairs Fiscal Year 08 Budget Request

February 13, 2007
VVA does wish to recognize that this year’s request from the President for the VA Budget, while lacking in many other respects, is relatively free of “budget gimmicks” that have so plagued discussions in the past. VVA believes that this is due to the strong efforts of Secretary Nicholson in doing battle to strip out the favorite ‘gimcrackery” of that permanent staff over at the Office of Management & Budget (OMB). VVA commends the Secretary of Veterans’ Affairs in this regard for seeking to have an honestly presented budget proposal.
