         veterans' health. we are working together with the department of veterans
         affairs to study these important issues, and you can make an important

         this information, when combined with the other information you have provided to
         us, will be a unique and valuable resource for answering key questions about the
         health of the country's military veterans. even if you don't normally use va
         services it will be helpful to this research to have your authorization.
