successful return to productive military service or civilian society, 
and recommend needed improvements;
    2. Evaluate the coordination, management, and adequacy of the 
delivery of health care, disability, traumatic injury, education, 
employment, and other benefits and services to returning wounded Global 
War on Terror service members by Federal agencies as well as the 
private sector, and recommend ways to ensure that programs provide 
high-quality services;
    3. (a) Analyze the effectiveness of existing outreach to service 
members regarding such benefits and services, and service members' 
level of awareness of an ability to access these benefits and services, 
(b) identify ways to reduce

barriers to and gaps in the benefits and services; and
    4. Consult with foundations, veterans service organizations, non-
profit groups, faith-based organizations, and others as appropriate, in 
performing the Commission's functions.

Warriors' final report, title ``Serve, Support, Simplify'', contains

    Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.175(a), the Department of Defense, no 
later than July 30, 2008, shall submit a follow-up report on the 
recommendations made by the President's Commission on Care for 
America's Returning Wounded Warriors. This report will be submitted to

Secretariat for the General Services Administration, and the Library of 
Congress.
