The
Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations reviews the
benefits and the health care services that the federal
government provides to eligible veterans and family members.
It also oversees the programs and operations of the Department
of Veterans Affairs, as well as those of other federal
agencies that pertain to veterans. In carrying out its
responsibilities, the subcommittee conducts hearings, site
visits and investigations nationwide. It also requests reports
from the General Accounting Office, the Congressional Research
Service and the VA's Office of the Inspector General. The
subcommittee only has jurisdiction over such bills and
resolutions as may be referred to it by the chairman of the
full committee.
