VPP & SHARP: Highlighting the achievements

This letter was sent to Assistant Secretary Michaels from the Senate HELP Committee (signed by Ranking Member Enzi and several other Rs) just before Christmas regarding VPP/SHARP.  The letter congratulates Dr. Michaels on his confirmation, and highlights the achievements of the VPP and SHARP programs.  It goes on to express the Senators’ collective disappointment with the VPP-related comments and actions of the Deputy Assistant Secretary (Barab) while serving as Acting Assistant Secretary.  The letter ends by reminding Dr. Michaels of commitments he made about VPP preservation in his written QFR responses during the nomination/confirmation process.
