Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from African-American Veterans and Community, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Related Issues: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, House of Representatives, One Hundred Third Congress, First Session; September 15, 1993
This morning the Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations is meeting to examine a very important and timely subject - Afri can -american veterans and the community: post-traumatic stress disorder and related issues.
Last week President Clinton and Vice President Gore unveiled their proposal to reinvent our federal government. Like the Presi dent, I strongly believe our federal government can and must be more responsive to our citizens. In veterans affairs, there are clear ly many opportunities for improving services to the men and women who have served in our armed forces. Expanding the Vet Center program and improving ptsd-related services are only two of the needed improvements I strongly support. And in the very near future I intend to introduce legislation to bring about these needed improvements.
Among today's Witnesses other improvements in veterans' serv ices may be recommended and these recommendations will be very helpful to us, I believe, in fashioning that legislation.
