Depleted uranium study WA Natl Guard IS funded! Tx Sen Doumit
Hello, I want to let you know that a budget proviso was included in the Senate's proposed budget for $150,000 for a Military Department to study the scope and adequacy of training on exposure to depleted uranium received by Washington state members of the National Guard serving during the first Gulf War or reccently in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is similar to the bill that you had contacted us about and I hope this comes as good news. Your message bringing it to our attention was very, very helpful.
Sincerely,
Vickie Winters
Sr. Legislative Assistant for Senator Doumit
