Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses; 
Notice of Meeting

    The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) gives notice under Public 
Law 92-463 Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App 2, that the 
Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses will meet 
on September 29, 2015, in Washington, DC. The meeting will be held in 
Room 230, 810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, DC from 9:00 a.m. until 
5:30 p.m. All sessions will be open to the public, and for interested 
parties who cannot attend in person, there is a toll-free telephone 
number (800-767-1750; access code 56978#).
    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 in 1990-1991.
    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 will include 
updates on the VA and Department of Defense Gulf War research programs, 
along with research presentations describing neurological problems in 
Gulf War Veterans. There will also be a discussion of Committee 
business and activities.

    The meeting will include time reserved for public comments 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 
rwhite@bu.edu.
    Because the meeting is being held in a government building, a photo 
I.D. must be presented as part of the clearance process. Therefore, any 
person attending should allow an additional 15 minutes before the 
meeting begins. Any member of the public seeking additional information 
should contact Dr. White, Scientific Director, at (617) 638-4620 or Dr. 
Victor Kalasinsky, Designated Federal Officer, at (202) 443-5682.
