Directs various federal health agencies to study and report to Congress
effects of depleted uranium (DU) on members of the military and to people
who live near military installations that use DU munitions. Ask
Representatives Dingell or Smith to support this bill.
****************************************
Dear Representative ________,
As a member of Veterans for Peace, I am deeply concerned with issues that
military service men and women and veterans face. One of those issues is the
use and effects of depleted uranium (DU) munitions.
I am writing to urge you to support and co-sponsor H.R. 1483, the Depleted
Uranium Munitions Study Act of 2003. It is a bill that requires the federal
government to study the effects of DU and to report to Congress its
findings. Many experts believe that DU is a major cause of severe health
problems for service members who come into contact with it, civilian
populations who are indirectly exposed to it during and after combat
situations, and an environmental threat in areas that are exposed to DU.
This issue is of deep importance to me as a voter, and I look forward to
hearing your thoughts on this.
Sincerely,
_______________
member Veterans for Peace, Washtenaw County chapter
