ective 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 19

utheast corner of the property then by counting the metal fence posts going toward the southwest fence post, counting from the first post and going down to the 35th post, you should be in the middle of the storage lot. 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. Agent Orange has effected the lives of millions of people, the people that had the bad fate to be exposed to this deadly chemical had families and they felt, as much if not more pain than the people contaminated than you would think. Agent Orange was one of the most irresponsible things this country has ever put into action, they tested it before it was put to use, and they saw that it was harmful, but they used it anyway.!

ness, death, and destruction were brought to the bodies of those unknowing members of our own fighting forces, those of other nations, and the civilian populace of Vietnam. It is now known that the dioxin not only saturated the people that were unfortunate enough to be sprayed, but also found its way into the water system and onto the crop areas, and eventually entered the bodies of others who were completely unaware of their exposure and the deadly consequences that were ahead of them. Many different types of defoliants were tested for their use during the Vietnam War; these are just a few of the dozens experimented with during the war: PURPLE: A formulation of 2,4,-D and 2,4,5,-T used between 1962 and 1964. GREEN: Contained 2,4,5-T and was used 1962-1964. PINK: Contained 2,4,5-T and was used 1962-1964. ORANGE: A formulation of 2,4,-D and 2,4,5-T used between 1965 and 1970. WHITE: A formulation of Picloram and 2,4,-D. BLUE: Contained cacodylic acid. ORANGE II: A formulation o!

ost cancers and other diseases, such as adverse neurological and reproductive effects, were inadequate or insufficient to determine whether an association exists. * No Association. For a small group of cancers, it has been found that a sufficient number and variety of well-designed studies exist to conclude that there is limited or suggestive evidence of no association between these cancers and the herbicides or dioxin. This group includes skin cancer, gastrointestinal tumors (colon, rectal, stomach, and pancreatic), bladder cancer, and brain tumors. First was denial that it was used at all, then denial that it was sprayed on American soldiers, and of course always denial that it had any ill effects. The ultimate decision was that their illness was caused by stress, although cancer, from which some veterans are suffering, may result from chemicals to which some veterans were exposed. Ultimately it comes down to the simple fact that veterans were not believed about their exposu!

in 1971. During this time more than 20 million gallons of herbicides were sprayed over 6 million acres (approximately 19 of the twenty gallons sprayed was the Agent Orange herbicide), most of the land sprayed was sprayed more than once. More than 3.5 million acres of South Vietnam (approximately 8.5 percent of the country) were sprayed one or more times. Spraying occurred in all 4 military zones of Vietnam. Heavily sprayed areas included inland forests near the demarcation zone; inland forests at the junction of the borders of Cambodia, Laos, and South Vietnam; inland forests north and northwest of Saigon; mangrove forests on the southernmost peninsula of Vietnam; and mangrove forests along major shipping channels southeast of Saigon. 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.
