DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
AFFAIRS
Advisory Committee on the
Readjustment of Veterans; Notice of
Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) gives notice under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act that the
Advisory Committee on the
Readjustment of Veterans will have a
closed meeting at the Department of
Veterans Affairs Vet Center 721 at 9504
IH 35, North, San Antonio, Texas 78233.
The meetings will be held on December
5 and 6, 2018. Sessions are open to the
public, except when the Committee is
conducting tours of VA facilities,
participating in offsite events,
participating in workgroup sessions,
and conducting official Administrative
business. Tours of the VA facilities are
closed, to protect Veterans’ privacy and
personal information.
The purpose of the Committee is to
advise the Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) regarding the provision by
VA of benefits and services to assist
Veterans in the readjustment to civilian
life. In carrying out this duty, the
Committee shall take into account the
needs of Veterans who served in combat
theaters of operation. The Committee
assembles, reviews, and assesses
information relating to the needs of
Veterans readjusting to civilian life and
the effectiveness of VA services in
assisting Veterans in that readjustment.
On Wednesday, December 5, 2018,
the Committee will hold a closed
session at the San Antonio, TX Vet
Center from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,
while members tour the facility, and
meet with key Vet Center staff as well
as a panel of individuals who use Vet
Center services. The meeting will focus
on Veteran experience, and members

will solicit information from key staff
from various VA entities across San
Antonio, and have strategic discussion
about what they learned from the
interactions. Because the issues
discussed will most likely include
information learned during the tour and
in conversation with service users, to
protect their privacy the session will be
closed.
On December 6, the Committee will
convene an open session from 8:00 a.m.
to 10:00 a.m., when they will receive an
update from VA Readjustment
Counseling Service and Mental Health
leadership regarding collective efforts in
suicide prevention, and then will
engage in strategic discussions
formulating conclusions and
recommendations for the 20th annual
report to Congress. The meeting will
adjourn at 10:00 a.m.
This field visit is closed to the public
in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b (c) (6).
Exemption 6 permits the Committee to
close a meeting that is likely to disclose
information of a personal nature where
disclosure would constitute a clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal
privacy, which will most likely be the
case throughout this field visit.
The agenda will include time for
Executive Sessions, where the
committee will focus on the annual
operations plan for 2019/2020, and no
time will be allotted for receiving oral
comments from the public; however, the
committee will accept written
comments from interested parties on
issues outlined in the meeting agenda or
other issues regarding the readjustment
of Veterans. Parties should contact Ms.
Sherry Moravy, via email at
10RCSAction@va.gov, or by mail at
Department of Veterans Affairs,
Readjustment Counseling Service
(10RCS), 810 Vermont Avenue,
Washington, DC 20420. Any member of
the public seeking additional
information should contact Ms. Moravy
to the email address noted above.
