DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS The 2002 budget provides $23,378 million in discretionary funding for veterans health, benefits, and other services, including $23,998 million in gross discretionary budget authority and $620 million in anticipated discretionary medical collections. This funding level recognizes that an estimated $235 million of current medical care liabilities will shift to the Department of Defense due to new benefits available to military retirees over age 64. The account by account information provided in the following budget schedules is supplemented by a departmentwide strategic plan, published in September 2000, a performance plan submitted annually with the Budget, and an annual performance report. The performance plan contains annual goals for each of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) programs along with historic performance data, where available. The plan highlights approximately 35 key measures that VA’s top executives consider critical to the success of the Department. The performance report includes actual program performance as measured against goals. f may be used for CARES activities without fiscal year limitation: Provided further, That the Secretary of Veterans Affairs shall conduct by contract a program of recovery audits for the fee basis and other medical services contracts with respect to payments for hospital care; and, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 3302(b), amounts collected, by setoff or otherwise, as the result of such audits shall be available, without fiscal year limitation, for the purposes for which funds are appropriated under this heading and the purposes of paying a contractor a percent of the amount collected as a result of an audit carried out by the contractor: Provided further, That all amounts so collected under the preceding proviso with respect to a designated health care region (as that term is defined in 38 U.S.C. 1729A(d)(2)) shall be allocated, net of payments to the contractor, to that region.

Veterans health issues are addressed comprehensively in the following four program divisions: Medical Research.—Medical Research strives to understand the disease process so that efficient, rational interventions can be made to cure or alleviate the effects of disease. The program supports investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians in basic and clinical research, and centers of excellence devoted to specific diseases. The research is done in areas particularly relevant to the veteran population—aging, chronic disease, mental illness, substance abuse, military occupations, and environmental exposures. Rehabilitation Research.—Rehabilitation Research is dedicated to the development and application of science and engineering to improve the care and quality of life for the physically disabled. The program supports investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians and engineers in rehabilitation research, centers of excellence devoted to specific disabilities, and technology transfer. The research is done in areas particularly relevant to the disabled veteran population—aging, sensory loss, and trauma related illness. Health Services Research.—Health Services Research is directed toward improving the outcome effectiveness and cost efficiency of health care delivery for the veteran population. The program supports investigator-initiated research projects, the training of clinicians in applied clinical research, centers of excellence devoted to specific aspects of health care delivery, and service-directed projects addressing clinical management needs. The research focuses on the translation of research findings to clinical best practices for all veteran patients. Particular contributions are made in the areas of aging, substance abuse, health systems, and special populations. Cooperative Studies.—Cooperative Studies Research has recently been separated from the Medical Research and Health Services Research programs and is directed toward large multi-site clinical trials. Cooperative Studies supports the clinical trials with its own statistical support centers and its own FDA-approved pharmacy.

Funds to operate the various rehabilitative activities and provide for the therapeutic work for remuneration for patients and members in VA health care facilities are derived from contractual arrangements with private industry or nonprofit entities. Public Law 102–54 authorizes VA to contract with any Federal agency, including VA, and authorizes the fund to cover the training, education, and travel costs of employees associated with the rehabilitative programs. This is a selfsustaining fund, and therefore no appropriation is required to support these activities.

A veteran’s entitlement is based on active duty service of a specific length (normally 90 days or more) during a designated war period, disabilities considered permanent and total, and countable income below established levels. There is no disability requirement for survivor cases. Income support is provided at established benefit levels. Veterans who are under the age of 45 and are in receipt of a disability pension will be evaluated to determine whether a vocational goal is reasonably feasible. Those for whom a vocational goal is feasible are eligible for a program of vocational training. An automatic annual cost-of-living increase comparable to the annual social security increase is provided for those pensioners in the improved program and to parents receiving dependency and indemnity compensation. The increase, effective with payments made on January 1, 2002, is expected to be 2.5 percent.

The subsidy amounts are estimated on a net present value basis. The Federal guaranty for this program protects lenders against the following types of losses: (a) for loans of $45,000 or less, 50 percent of the loan is guaranteed; (b) for loans greater than $45,000, but not more than $56,250, $22,500; (c) for loans more than $56,250, but less than $144,000, the lesser of $36,000 or 40 percent of the loan; or (d) for loans greater than $144,000, the lesser of $50,750 or 25 percent of the loan. As part of a continuing effort to reduce administrative costs, in addition to restructuring and consolidations, VA is conducting a study of the property management function to determine whether it would be more cost effective to contract out this activity. The study will be complete at the end of 2001.

The Native American Veterans Housing Loan program provides direct loans to veterans living on trust lands under 38 U.S.C. chapter 37, section 3761. These loans are available to purchase, construct or improve homes to be occupied as the veteran’s residence. The principal amount of a loan under this authority is generally limited to $80,000, except in areas where housing costs are significantly higher than average costs nationwide. This is a pilot program that began in 1993 and is authorized through December 31, 2001. Public Law 105–368, the ‘‘Veterans Benefits Improvement Act of 1998,’’ established a pilot project designed to expand the supply of transitional housing for homeless veterans and to guarantee up to 15 investment loans with a maximum aggregate value of $100 million. Not more than five loans may be guaranteed in the first three years of the program. The project must enforce sobriety standards and provide a wide range of supportive services such as counseling for substance abuse and job readiness skills. Residents will be required to pay a reasonable fee. As required by the Federal Credit Reform Act of 1990, this account records, for these programs, the subsidy costs associated with the direct loans obligated and the guaranteed loans committed in 1992 and beyond, as well as the administrative expenses of these programs. The subsidy amounts are estimated on a present value basis; the administrative expenses are estimated on a cash basis. 11 87.00 Total outlays (gross) ................................................. f 1 MISCELLANEOUS VETERANS HOUSING LOANS DIRECT LOAN FINANCING ACCOUNT Program and Financing (in millions of dollars) Net budget authority and outlays: 89.00 Budget authority ............................................................ 90.00 Outlays ........................................................................... 46 1 1 7 1 11 2000 actual Identification code 36–4130–0–3–704 2001 est. 2002 est. 00.01 00.02 2000 actual Identification code 36–0128–0–1–704 2001 est. 2 1 3 1 3 1 Total new obligations ................................................ 3 4 4 21.40 22.00 Budgetary resources available for obligation: Unobligated balance carried forward, start of year New financing authority (gross) .................................... 1 3 1 ................... 3 4 23.90 23.95 24.40 Total budgetary resources available for obligation Total new obligations ....................................................

The mission of the National Cemetery Administration is to honor veterans with a final resting place and lasting memorials that commemorate their service to our Nation. The National Cemetery Administration’s vision is to provide a lasting tribute to our Nation’s veterans by being mission-driven, results-oriented, and customer-focused. There are four related programs managed by the National Cemetery Administration including: (1) burying eligible veterans and family members in national cemeteries and maintaining the graves and their environs as national shrines; (2) providing aid to States in establishing, expanding, or improving State veteran cemeteries; (3) providing headstones and markers for the graves of eligible persons in national, State, and private cemeteries; and (4) providing presidential memorial certificates to family and friends of deceased veterans, recognizing the veteran’s contribution and service to the Nation. The National Cemetery Administration also reflects budget information for the National Cemetery Gift Fund. Through this Trust Fund, the Secretary is authorized to accept gifts and bequests which are made for the purpose of beautifying national cemeteries or are determined to be beneficial to such cemeteries, or are made for the purpose of the operation, maintenance, or improvement of the National Memorial Cemetery of Arizona.

The Supply Fund is an intragovernmental revolving fund without fiscal year limitations. Budget program.—The fund provides financial support for: (1) a National Acquisition Center or central contracting office; (2) the maintenance of field station inventories; (3) a service and distribution center; (4) a service and reclamation program; (5) a national prosthetics distribution center; and (6) an asset management service. Costs for the administration of supply activities at VA field stations are not financed by the Supply Fund. These costs are charged directly to applicable appropriations accounts. Financing.—Costs of supplies, equipment, and services acquired through the Supply Fund and Supply Fund operating costs are recovered through reimbursements from the VA appropriations and other Government agencies receiving goods and services. For 2002, Supply Fund sales are estimated to reach $715 million. Average inventory needed to support those sales will be $25 million. Operating results.—The Fund operated at a loss of $3 million in 2000. The new total of retained earnings is $59 million. Operating expense as related to sales was 8 percent.

VA was chosen as a pilot Franchise Fund agency under the Government Management and Reform Act, P.L. 103–356, of 1994. This budget extends through September 30, 2002, the authority under that Act for franchise fund pilots in agencies including VA. Established in 1997, administrative services included in the Franchise Fund are financed on a feefor-service basis rather than through VA’s General Operating Expenses appropriation. VA’s Franchise Fund is a revolving fund used to supply common administrative services on the basis of services supplied. Enterprise Centers are the lines of business within the VA Franchise Fund and are expected to have net billings of about $156 million and employ 705 people, who were transferred from their parent organizations. The Franchise Fund concept is intended to increase competition for government administrative services resulting in lower costs and higher quality.
