There are currently two bills in the US Congress to extend presumptive A/O herbicide coverage to Thailand veterans. They are Senate Bill S.2105 and House Bill H.R.4843. Call your Senators and Reps and urge them to support these Bills. Have your friends and family call too.

I know these both died last year but does anyone know if they have been resubmitted for the current session?
It seems like this is the only way we may get recognition.

The authors of those bills have been quoted as planning to reintroduce them in the 116Th Congress, but I haven't seen anything yet. I subscribe to the Library of Congress daily Legaslative report.

Ok, so what has the Navy got on us??? They have two house bills, HR 203, Jan 3rd and I think 299, introduced after that. They both again refer to "Blue Water Navy" and the only mention of Thailand Veterans is for those who qualify under existing rules.
All they would have to do is add a few lines and add Thailand Veterans and then get the votes for passage. Thailand Veterans are going to get passed on again this session I guess.
