The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Veterans' Employment and
Training (OASVET) was established by Secretary's Order No. 5-81 in December
1981. The Assistant Secretary position was created by P.L. 96-466 in October
1980, to replace the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Veterans' Employment
position created by P.L. 94-502 in October 1976. The bipartisan Congressional
intent was to establish leadership of the Department's programs for services to
veterans at the policy-making level, and thereby help to ensure that
Congressional mandates for "an effective (1) job and job training counseling
service program, (2) employment placement service program, and (3) job training
placement service program for eligible veterans" are carried out by the
Department of Labor.
