National Security Agency

The National Security Agency (NSA) is a world leader in the protection and exploitation of intelligence. We gather and analyze foreign Signals Intelligence to produce vital information for U.S. policy makers and warfighters. And we protect American intelligence from the ever-listening ears of our adversaries. Our goal is to use intelligence to give the U.S. a decisive information advantage. We have two primary missions working toward this goal: Our Information Assurance mission works to prevent foreign adversaries from gaining access to sensitive or classified national security information. At the same time, our Signals Intelligence mission intercepts, decrypts, analyzes, and disseminates intelligence information from foreign signals. This Agency also enables Network Warfare operations to defeat terrorists and their organizations at home and abroad, consistent with U.S. laws and the protection of privacy and civil liberties. At the Nations top cryptologic organization, we employ the best and the brightest, who use their intelligence to solve some of the Nations most difficult challenges.

United States Department of Veterans Affairs

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) was established on March 15, 1989, succeeding the Veterans Administration. It is responsible for providing federal benefits to veterans and their families. Headed by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, VA is the second-largest of the Cabinet departments and operates nationwide programs for health care, financial assistance and burial benefits. Of the 22.2 million veterans currently alive, nearly three-quarters served during a war or an official period of conflict. About a quarter of the nation`s population is potentially eligible for VA benefits and services because they are veterans, family members or survivors of veterans. The responsibility to care for veterans, spouses, survivors and dependents can last a long time. Two children of Civil War veterans still draw VA benefits. About 184 children and widows of Spanish-American War veterans still receive VA compensation or pensions. VA`s fiscal year 2013 spending is projected to be approximately $140 billion, including almost $64 billion in discretionary resources and nearly $76.4 billion in mandatory funding. The discretionary budget request represents an increase of $2.7 billion, or nearly 4.5 percent, over the 2012 enacted level.
