1. Senate VA Committee Holds Hearing on Peake Nomination: On Wednesday, the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee heard testimony from VA Secretary Nominee Dr. James Peake. Peake, a retired Army lieutenant general and the former Army surgeon general from 2000 to 2004, was nominated by President Bush in October after then VA Secretary Nicholson resigned.
The committee members questioned Peake on his positions on several critical issues facing today's VA to include VA funding, claims backlog, mental health, GI Bill, seamless transition and updating the VA ratings schedule.
A vote to confirm Dr. Peake by the Committee and full Senate has not yet been schedule but is expected to occur before Congress adjourns for the year.
