Secretary of Veterans Affairs speaks at University
President George W. Bush's Secretary of Veterans Affairs, Anthony J. Principi, gave a speech to the University's Judge Advocate General School yesterday.
The Judge Advocate General School is a branch of the United States Army that offers a graduate legal education program to its students leading to a masters of law degree. The school has been at the University since the fall of 1951.
Principi spoke on improving health care for veterans. He said it often takes too long for elderly veterans to receive adequate care because of long processing periods for health claims.
He also spoke on creating a database of information on Persian Gulf War veterans. The database would aid research into whether or not Persian Gulf veterans are more prone to certain types of diseases.
