"in Session Days" Or Calendar Days?
I need clarfication please, in reading the CRA, I read it as the payments will be held up for 60 calendar days and total CRA for the purpose of getting a Resolution to stop the rule (no support for this) is 60 Congressional days or days they are "in session" If they were to call for a vote for a Resolution to stop the rule from going into effect and the resolution was voted down, it would end the CRA period. What about the money being held? The money is already appropriated but being held for 60 calendar days right?

"trouble Looms"
"TROUBLE LOOMS AS VA ABRUPTLY ISSUES SECOND CONTRACT FOR AGENT ORANGE CLAIMS SYSTEM On Sept. 3, the VA quietly posted a second procurement for the same claims processing system being developed by IBM but with a shortened delivery deadline." Full story at http://www.vawatchdog.org/10/nf10/nfsep10/nf091010-3.htm This gets me- the new system is supposed to be an "automated " one for the new AO claims. The reality is that these claims should be easy to do without automation. If the veteran's exposure to AO is confirmed and they have one of the new presumptives, the only thing left is for a proper rating and award letter. If vets have responded to any letters f…

12 mile limit maps ( Vietnam)
This research was done on the USS Bennington by a member of the original Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Association: It shows how the sea coordinates were developed within HR 299. And also how the Deck logs reveal the sea coordinates. http://www.oldbluewater.com/carriers/Bennington_CVS_20N.pdf

1600 AO Claims Missed by Contractor, WTF!
I wasn't aware the VA used outside Contractors, to review Comp Claims Applications for possible AO exposure. They were paid $300/350 depending on thickness of C-File. They allegedly had very little AO training and quite often spent only a few minutes reviewing each file. Apparently at least 1600 AO Associated Claims were missed and not referred for Nehmer expediting. We learn something new everyday.
