Excerpt from Va Adjudication of Benefits Claims Filed by Veterans of the Persian Gulf War: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Compensation, Pension and Insurance of the Committee on Veterans´ Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session, June 8, 1993 The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:35 a.m., in room 334, Cannon House Office Building, Hon. Jim Slattery (chairman of the subcommittee), presiding. Present: Representative Slattery, Evans, Edwards of Texas, Tejeda, Everett, King, Montgomery. Opening Statement Of Chairman Slattery Mr. Slattery. Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. The subcommittee will come to order. We are meeting this morning to hear testimony from the VA and the veterans´ service organizations on the adjudication of benefits claims filed by veterans of the Persian Gulf War. Our mission today is to gain current information on the numbers of Persian Gulf veterans who are seeking compensation, pension or death benefits, as well as the types of disabilities from which they are suffering and the numbers of cases in which benefits have been granted or denied. We also wish to learn more about the problems these veterans may be facing in establishing the validity of their claims. Finally, we want to be advised of actions the VA and the DOD are taking to insure that these veterans receive every benefit to which they may be entitled on a timely basis. I want to assure all Persian Gulf War veterans that we will continue our oversight on this issue and that we will continue to push for a thorough examination into the causes of the disabilities from which these men and women are suffering and to look for solutions to the problems we expect to hear about today. I look forward to hearing from our witnesses today, but before we begin I would like to recognize other members of the subcommittee who are present and wish to make an opening statement. I am advised that our distinguished ranking minority member, Mr. Bilirakis, is unable to be with us today, apparently anticipating the arrival of a grandchild. However, he is very interested in this issue and has asked that his opening statement be included in the record. So without objection, it is so ordered.
