improve capital, business development opportunities and pre-established 
Federal contracting goals for small business concerns owned and 
controlled by veterans (VOB's) and service-disabled veterans 
(SDVOSB's). Moreover, the Task Force shall coordinate administrative 
and regulatory activities and develop proposals relating to ``six focus 
areas'': (1) Access to capital (loans, surety bonding and franchising); 
(2) Ensure achievement of pre-established contracting goals, including 
mentor prot[eacute]g[eacute] and matching with contracting 
opportunities; (3) Increase the integrity of certifications of status 
as a small business; (4) Reducing paperwork and administrative burdens 
in accessing business development and entrepreneurship opportunities; 
(5) Increasing and improving training and counseling services; and, (6) 
Making other improvements to support veteran business development by 
the Federal government. On November 1, 2011, the Interagency Task Force 
on Veterans Small Business Development submitted its first report to 
the President, which included 18 recommendations that were applicable 
to the ``six focus areas'' identified above.
