Sit-Rep Negative On Review Recon VetNet Radio Very Near
VetNews writer Tod Noio spent hours on the phone recently trying to obtain a phone number for getting on the mail list to receive semi annual issues of the VA's Agent Orange Review.
"The Reviews contain a great deal of valuable info for vets with Agent Orange concerns", says Noio. Normally, the mailings go out to Vietnam era vets who are service-connected and maintain current address with the IRS. Noio's fruitless attempt included calls to 5 VA regional offices, VA National Ofc, VA hospitals and numerous Vet Centers.
Better results may be had by written requests to:

Environmental Agents Service
(131), VA Central Ofc, 810 Vermont Ave NW, Washington, DC., 20420.
