     The Honorable Alan K. Simpson
     Chairman, Committee on Veterans'
       Affairs
     United States Senate

          Subject: VA Justification for Construction of
                    Nursing Home Care Facilities at Durham,
                    North Carolina, and Prescott, Arizona
                    (GAO/HRD-84-84)

          At the request of the Chairman, Subcommittee on HUD-
     Independent Agencies, Senate Committee on Appropriations, we
     have examined the Veterans Administration's (VA's) justification
     for nursing home care construction projects in its fiscal year
     1985 budget request to determine whether VA has adequately con-
     sidered local needs and resources and less costly alternatives
     to new construction. This is our second and final report
     responding to that request. Our first reportI dealt with VA's
     proposed construction of nursing home care facilities at the
     Alexandria, Louisiana, and Providence, Rhode Island, VA medical
     centers (VAMCs). We reported that the Alexandria project was
     adequately justified, but the Providence project was not. This
     report covers the proposed projects at the Durham, North Caro-
     lina, and Prescott, Arizona, VAMCs. As agreed with your staff,
     we will not be reporting on the remaining three projects.
