John Browder: “Legislation I am introducing today calls for the creation of an independent commission to study the possible incidences…”

On the recordSeptember 23, 1996
Legislation I am introducing today calls for the creation of an independent commission to study the possible incidences of chemical and biological warfare agent exposure during the Persian Gulf conflict. The legislation is based on a September 5 recommendation by the staff of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans' Illnesses. Creation of this commission before Congress adjourns sine die is essential if we are to uncover the causes of gulf war syndrome, assure veterans of the Government's good faith, and reduce the chance that soldiers in future conflicts may be exposed to unnecessary health risks.
