Just saying the name Agent Orange gets the attention of every Vietnam veteran, and I dare say most of the Australian and American public, not to mention the Vietnamese. It has been argued about, written about, researched and debated, published in magazines and newspapers, talked about on radio and television. It was the subject of documentaries, legal battles, and in Australia a Royal Commission that lasted some two years and cost 3.8 million dollars. Agent Orange was the code name for a herbicide developed for the military, primarily for use in tropical climates. Although the genesis of the product goes back to the 1940’s, serious testing for military applications did not begin until the early 1960’s. The purpose of the product was to deny an enemy cover and concealment in dense terrain by defoliating trees and shrubbery where the enemy could hide. The product “Agent Orange” (a code name for the orange band that was used to mark the drums it was stored in) was principally effective against broad-leaf foliage, such as the dense jungle-like terrain found in Southeast Asia. The product was tested in Vietnam in the early 1960’s, and was brought into ever widening use during the height of the war in 1967-68, though it’s use was dim . . .
Colin died, but his wife continued on with his claim helped by The Vietnam Veterans Association of America, she was ultimately successful. Small quantities were tested in Vietnam between 1962 and 1964. Distrust because it took so long to get treatment, many veterans died of cancers believing that Agent Orange caused it. Children born to Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange may have a greater risk of being born with Spina Bifida, a serious birth defect, according to the latest scientific review of health problems linked to the use of herbicides and dioxin. At the 35th fence post go 15 feet north from the south fence, and dig down 15 feet, there you will find buried drums! He says that when this site is uncovered, it will prove that the city of Dallas was contaminated with Agent Orange, because it will prove that Agent Orange was being sold to Sabine River Authority and that what he saw was true. Faced with lingering uncertainty, Congress asked the National Academy of Sciences Institute of Medicine to conduct a comprehensive review of available scientific information regarding the health effects of exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides used in Vietnam. Titzman stated that he was unwilling to spend any of the agency’s funds to search for buried drums but that the Texas Water Commission was free to conduct any type of search as long as the site was left in good condition. Inspection of the storage yard of the Texas Surplus Property Agency on February 27, 1990 did not uncover any physical evidence that any waste was buried on-site. Certain cancers, diseases, and disorders that were before linked to exposure of Agent Orange didn’t have enough or adequate evidence that would prove that they were linked to Agent Orange spraying. Crop destruction missions were concentrated in northern and eastern central areas of South Vietnam Most Agent Orange was sprayed from Hercules C-123 Providers, specially equipped with spray booms to spray the herbicide. Since then, thousands of scientific studies have been conducted. The primary service responsible for the application of Agent Orange was the U.
