Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee, we are pleased
to be here today to discuss certain activities of the Veterans
Administration's (VA's) Office of Inspector General (OIG). We have
not made a detailed review of the operations of the OIG. However,
we do have some limited observations based on work performed by our
Task Force on Fraud and Abuse and the results of (1) our review
of the OIG's investigation of allegations concerning the Palo Alto,
California, VA Medical Center, which you requested by letter dated
January 21, 1980, and (2) our inquiry into allegations made against
the OIG relating to harassment of certain VA employees and the
fabrication of charges and documents, requested in your letter
dated May 27, 1980. We also have some observations concerning the
recently proposed establishment of VA's Office of Medical Inspector
which should be of interest to this Committee.
