Just back from testimony before the IOM / Agent Orange Committee in Chicago. Personal opinion? It went VERY, VERY well and I would not be surprised to see the IOM issue a statement by January, 2011 declaring that MDS should be considered presumptive to AO exposure and should be rated as LEUKEMIA.

Attached is the PDF version of my statement. There are 90+ references and If you would like a copy on CD email me your snail address to AirAmrka@aol.com

My honest impression was that the committee could not believe that the Department of Veterans' Affairs was so arbitrary in their decision making in the face of scientific evidence.

PDF did not upload because I have exceeded my quota. Go ahead and email me and I'll send you the complete package. Video of the three presentations about MDS will be on my Facebook page by tomorrow.
