                           ON

   THELCOLLECTION OF DEBTS OWED THE VETERANS ADMINISTRATI    /


      Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee, we are pleased

 to be here today to discuss the collection of debts owed the Vet-

 erans Administration (VA). Our testimony will also touch on

 overall Federal debt collection efforts since many of the factors

 which impede debt collection efforts within VA have Government-

 wide applicability.

      The amount of money owed the Federal Government is enormous

 and growing. These debts are incurred from a host of activities,

 including Federal housing and student loan programs; overpayments

 to veterans and annuitants; tax assessments; and sales of Govern-

 ment services and goods. Much of the total debt will be paid

 off on a routine basis; however, a large and growing part requires

 more effective collection action to minimize the amounts that must

 be written off as uncollectible.

                                               ..... i ,, /  i :  ..  ...........
