Re: text of letter to my government representatives comments anyone?
Looks good. Good job. A couple of suggestions would be to mention that the base commanders were given freedom by their bosses to use herbicides in other areas of the base as they saw fit. Not just the perimeters. Also mention the drift ranges and toxicity statements that are in those now famous "Army documents" about herbicides including AO. Mention that Takhli was only approx 2 miles wide. Include copies of those documents along with your letter. Include map & photo that shows how close the perimter areas were to the flightline areas.
