Meeting Times usually are 9AM-4PM.....But committee members start arriving at 8am for Coffee and I suggest you plan to be there at 8Am to allow conversations and meeting before start of meetings.  The meetings usually conclude for day at 4-4:30 Pm again their are usually conversations after that time with individual interactions. 

Sept 15-16,2008( date is set with VA SEC Peake's schedule to Receive 2008 Report that will be huge on Sept 16)  Meeting place in DC has not been announced yet but probably will be VA headquarters at least on second day. ...Formal announcements will come on both meetings when they post and when it is posted in federal registry but this is info I have gotten from the committee.

The mission of the Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses, according to its charter and the act of Congress that created it, is to make recommendations regarding medical research on Gulf War illnesses by the U.S. government.   The Committee is charged with reviewing previous medical research and other relevant medical knowledge, and with making recommendations for future research.  The charter directs that the fundamental standard against which the Committee should measure research opportunities is whether the research will make a difference to the health of ill veterans.
