"I commend the Department for the decision on the Agent Orange diseases, and I think that is the right thing to do."

"I am highly concerned that this new policy will further complicate the already large claims backlog."

"It would not make sense not to be joint and it would leave a big void if the Army moved and you did not."

"I think that hitting it now rather than waiting so long, as was done in Agent Orange, it is still late, but I am glad we are doing it."
