"Named a Special Advisor for Health Information Technology (HIT) to provide leadership and oversight for all of SSA's HIT initiatives."
-- I wonder who the special advisor is and what his or her background is?
-- Also, 100 people seems like a real drop in the bucket. Are they going to get serious about hiring new staff for ODAR?
None of the components got enough staff to matter. They ought to be hiring that many every quater of every year. Grummbblle. Mummbbllee.
