    The purpose of the Committee is to advise the VA regarding the 
provision by VA of benefits and services to assist Veterans in the 
readjustment to civilian life. The Committee, comprised of 13 subject 
matter experts, advises the Secretary through the VA Readjustment 
Counseling Service (RCS). In carrying out this duty, the Committee 
shall take into account the needs of Veterans who served in combat 
theaters of operation.
    On February 5, 2025, the meeting will be open to the public from

to conduct a virtual site visit of the Lancaster Vet Center and conduct 
a focus group with staff, which may include sensitive clinical 
discussions. Tours of VA facilities are closed, to protect Veterans' 
privacy and personal information, in accordance with 5 U.S.C 
552b(c)(6). The Committee will reconvene an open session at 1:00 p.m. 
to 2:15 p.m. EST for a presentation from three Vet Center Directors. 
From 2:15 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST, the Committee will again convene a 
closed session to hear from a Veterans panel discussion on sensitive or 
Veterans' privacy and personal information; and will reconvene publicly 
again at 4:00 p.m. EST for a Committee discussion and meeting 
adjournment.
    On February 6, 2025, the entire day will be open to the public and 
will consist of presentations and discussions with Designated Federal 
Officers from other VA Federal advisory committees, as well as a 
committee discussion focused on mapping out the upcoming annual report.
    Time will be allotted for the public to provide comments starting 
at 3:30 p.m. EST and ending no later than 4:00 p.m. EST. The comment
