2.5: Congressional Requests

Explore the possibility of an online reserve of declassified and logically cataloged Congressional inquiries and VA responses

Other Information:

Due to the nature of VA’s business, many offices within the agency receive correspondence from members of Congress. VA’s Office of Congressional and Legislative Affairs assists in the response to this correspondence and hosts information regarding the nature of Congressional interaction with the Department on their website at http://www4.va.gov/oca/c2c.asp. In an attempt to increase transparency and openness between VA and the public, the agency will explore the possibility of an online reserve of declassified and logically cataloged Congressional inquiries and VA responses. Where applicable, metadata could be provided, showcasing VA’s commitment to creating a community of users that understands VA’s business lines and the clear ties to the important branches of the federal government that it serves.
