House Hearing on VA-SPAWAR Deal

The House Veterans Affairs Committee's Economic Opportunity Subcommittee has just shoehorned into its schedule next week a hearing on the interagency agreement that the Veterans Affairs Department put together with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command.

The House Veterans Affairs Committee's Economic Opportunity Subcommittee has just shoehorned into its schedule next week a hearing on the interagency agreement that the Veterans Affairs Department put together with the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command.

VA's inspector general charged in June that the VA IT shop "relinquished oversight" of projects to SPAWAR, including work on systems to process claims for the post-9/11 GI bill, so I have a feeling that the hearing will not be a love-in.

Few details are available on the hearing except for the date: Sept. 10 at 1 pm in Room 334 of the Cannon House Office Building.

I'll be there.
