The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, that the Research
Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses will meet on April
28 and 29, 2014, in room 230 at VA Central Office, 810 Vermont Avenue

will adjourn at 5:00 p.m. on April 28 and at 12:30 p.m. on April 29.
All sessions will be open to the public.
The purpose of the Committee is to provide advice and make
recommendations to the Secretary of Veterans Affairs on proposed
research studies, research plans, and research strategies relating to
the health consequences of military service in the Southwest Asia
theater of operations during the Gulf War.
The Committee will review VA program activities related to Gulf War
Veterans' illnesses, and updates on relevant scientific research
published since the last Committee meeting. Presentations on April 28
will include updates on the VA Gulf War Research Program, followed by
research presentations on Gulf War animal studies. The Committee will
devote the remainder of April 28 and all of April 29 to a discussion of
Committee business and activities.
The meeting will include time reserved for public comments on both
days in the afternoon. A sign-up sheet for 5-minute comments will be
available at the meeting. Individuals who wish to address the Committee
may submit a 1-2 page summary of their comments for inclusion in the
official meeting record. Members of the public may also submit written
statements for the Committee's review to Dr. Roberta White at

additional information should contact Dr. White, Scientific Director,
