20006. The meeting will convene at 8:30 a.m. and end no later than 5:30

Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014, is to examine 
the access of veterans to health care from the Department of Veterans 
Affairs and strategically examine how best to organize the Veterans 
Health Administration, locate health care resources, and deliver health 
care to veterans during the next 20 years.
    No time will be allocated at this meeting for receiving oral 
presentations from the public. The public may submit written statements

security requirements, any member of the public wanting to attend must
