     2.  We note your disclosure that "the Company's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective as of March 31, 2005 to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by the Company's management, including its principal
executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure."  Please revise your disclosure

and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by you in reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and

you may revise your filing to state that your disclosure controls and procedures
are effective, or not effective, without providing any part of the definition
of disclosure controls and procedures that is included in Exchange Act Rule
13a-15(e).

     In response to this comment, VSE filed a Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal quarter
