We recommend that the VA Deputy Secretary confer with the Offices of General Counsel and Human Resources Management to develop VA policy related to the staffing and recruitment of VLJs, incorporate it into proper guidance and a requirement to sign a confidentiality agreement, provide applicability of the Privacy Act, a clear definition of what is confidential, and ensure that policy is implemented.
