United States Representative Jeff Miller serves on the House Armed
Services Committee and the Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. He has
established himself within Washington as a strong advocate for veterans'
concerns and immediately supported changes to concurrent receipt and
policy changes such as a greater co-sharing between the military and
veterans' clinics.
In 2009, Congressman Miller was appointed to the House Permanent Select
Committee on Intelligence (HPSCI). The HPSCI provides policy guidance
and sets classified funding levels for the sixteen agencies of the Intelligence
Community funded by the National Intelligence Program and the Military
Intelligence Program. Recently, the Intelligence Committee has held
important hearings on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, U.S.
Intelligence Operations against Al Qaeda, and Security Clearance Reform.
In 2011, Miller became the Chairman of the House Committee on Veterans'
Affairs. The Committee on Veterans’ Affairs is responsible for authorization
and oversight of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA.) VA is the second
largest department in the federal government with over 300,000 employees
and a budget of over $119 billion.
Congressman Miller also serves on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization
Parliamentary Assembly (NATO PA), where he serves as Vice Chairman of
the subcommittee on Transatlantic Defense and Security Cooperation.
