The Secretary must give the Office what it needs to work
The document says “shall”Who acts: Secretary of Veterans AffairsHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“the Office has such staff, resources, and access to customer service and experience information as may be necessary to carry out the functions of the Office”
The Secretary must ensure the Office has the staff, resources and access to customer service and experience information needed to carry out its functions. The section names no number of staff and no sum of money.
What the document actually says
“the Office has such staff, resources, and access to customer service and experience information as may be necessary to carry out the functions of the Office”
That sentence, in plain words
The head of the VA must give the office what it needs. That means staff, money, and facts about service.
What this is about
The law does not name a number of staff. It does not name a sum of money either. It sets a test instead: enough to do the job.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
