presentations from the public. Interested parties should provide
written comments for review by the Committee to Mrs. Marcia Holt-
Delaney, Program Analyst, Geriatrics and Extended Care Services
(10P4G), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue NW.,
Washington, DC 20420, or via email at [email protected].
Because the meeting is being held in a government building, a photo
I.D. must be presented at the Guard's Desk as a part of the clearance
process. Due to an increase in security protocols, and in order to
prevent delays in clearance processing, you should allow an additional
30 minutes before the meeting begins. Individuals who wish to attend
the meeting should contact Mrs. Holt-Delaney at (202) 461-6769.
Dated: August 4, 2016.
