in time.

own organization. His only

did not at some time or other
have a problem or worry whi -h
he would like to discuss with
someone whom he felt he could
trust and in whom he had con
fidence. Experience in schools
and industry has shown that when
a person takes advantage of the
opportunity .to think freely about
and discuss personal, social, or
other matters of concern with a
trained counselor, it is often pos
sible to discover more ways of
handling these matters."
The discussions will be strictly
confidential since the matters can
be of highly personal nature.
Conferences with the personal
counselor will have no effect or
bearing on pensions or other re
lationships to the VA, according
to the letter. No reports of such
discussions become a part of the
veteran's records.
Veterans may arrange to see
