HR 2269 and S 657 cover herbicide exposure in Thailand. These bills will modify the presumption of service connection for veterans who were exposed to herbicide agents while serving in the Armed Forces in Thailand during the Vietnam era. Given the 500 meter wind drift buffer zone required for ground spraying of herbicide, the VA's refusal to expand the area of coverage is simply ludicrous. Please contact your Member of Congress and Senators and ask them to co-sponsor these bills.
