Serving the information needs of a country and its veterans.
"A popular Government without popular
information or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce
or a Tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance,
and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with
the power knowledge gives." -James
Madison
In the spirit of President Madison, we welcome
you to the VA Freedom of Information Act Home Page. The 1996 amendments
to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) mandates that each Federal agency
implement a publicly-accessible Electronic
Reading Room of
agency FOIA response material and other material routinely available to
the public, with associated electronic "search" and indexing capabilities.
VA's Electronic
Reading Room uses a library
metaphor to welcome our customers to the VA Web site. However, to serve
those with bandwidth limitations or special needs, we offer an alternate
presentation in standard text with minimal graphics and effects. We hope
you enjoy your visit here and come back often.
