Dear Minister,

Congratulations on your appointment as Minister for Veterans Affairs.

I am to attending a National Treatment Monitoring Committee meeting in Sydney on Thu 28th Nov 2001

I have spoken to your office about the possibility of my meeting with you in Sydney on Wed 27th at any time convenient to you on that day.

I understand this is very short notice but as I reside in WA and am rarely in Sydney I thought it was important to at least try to arrange a meeting. There are some major problems concerning TPI veterans that require urgent attention. If you are unavailable a meeting on the 27th could you please consider another date as soon as possible. Again congratulations on your appointment. I look forward to meeting you and working through the issues relating to TPIs.

Yours sincerely

John (Blue) Ryan
