Excerpt from Fiscal Year 1994 Department of Veterans Affairs Budget: Hearing Before the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; March 30, 1993 and April 20, 1993 The chairman. I would like to thank our witnesses this morn ing. For the members, you have a summary of the recommendations of this Independent Budget done by the four veterans' organiza tions, and then you have the Independent Budget. It is all very well done. I have a comment or two I want to make. It was excellent testi mony. In your statement I read last night that there would be cuts in staffing for VA medical care and adjudication of claims. The President has yet to announce all of the details of his budget. The administration's economic plan assumes a number of government wide initiatives to keep discretionary spending relatively constant. The plan assumes savings from a 1-year freeze on Federal salaries and other efficiencies from streamlining policies. These policies can reduce the increases that would otherwise be needed to keep service levels for veterans programs at acceptable levels. However, within the overall freeze on discretionary spend ing there is some leeway to increase funding for high priority pro grams, and I believe that the President will provide additional funds for veterans medical programs and to deal with the growing backlog in processing claims for veterans benefits.

Excerpt from Fiscal Year 1995 Department of Veterans Affairs Budget: Hearing Before the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session; February 10, 1994 Based on a quick review of the budget for all departments, I question whether the veterans' programs are given the priority they deserve. For the first time in many years, health care employment levels would be cut, which would do great harm to the va's ability to de livery timely services to veterans. In response to this, I introduced legislation on Tuesday to exempt VA from across-the-board Federal workforce reductions. Now my purpose is not intended to freeze the staff, but it would buy time for the VA to gear up for its role in health care reform. When we start reducing hospital staff personnel by five or six thousand people in the next 6 to 12 months, we've got a problem. This would buy VA time to gear up for its role in the health care reform. Why make such deep cuts before the VA can assess the de mands on its health care system under health care reform?
