         November 14, 1995

         The Honorable Alan K. Simpson
         Chairman
         The Honorable John D. Rockefeller IV
         Ranking Minority Member
         Committee on Veterans' Affairs
         United States Senate

         The Honorable Bob Stump
         Chairman
         The Honorable G.V. (Sonny) Montgomery
         Ranking Minority Member
         Committee on Veterans' Affairs
         House of Representatives

         On September 30, 1995, the President signed Public Law 104-
         31, a Continuing Resolution for fiscal year 1996 that
         included funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs
         (VA). As you know, 38 U.S.C. 8110(a) (4) requires that we
         report on several actions the Director of the Office of
         Management and Budget (OMB) is required to take in response
         to each law making appropriations to VA. Specifically, the
         Director of OMB must

         -- authorize VA to employ at least the number of employees
             for which funds were appropriated in its medical care,
             medical and prosthetic research, and medical
             administration and miscellaneous operating expense
             accounts;

         -- provide VA with funds appropriated for these employees;
            and

         -- certify these actions to the Comptroller General and the
            Senate and House Committees on Veterans' Affairs not
            later than 30 days after the President signs the
            appropriation law.

         In a letter dated November 6, 1995, the OMB Director
         provided written certification that OMB had indeed provided
         to VA all funds authorized by the Continuing Resolution and
         that it had authorized not fewer than 206,154 full-time-
         equivalent employees (FTE) for the three medical accounts.
         This FTE level is identical to that requested by VA in its


                   GAO/HEHS-96-67R Fiscal Year 1996 VA Certification
