Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Persian Gulf War Veterans Compensation and Other Pending Legislation: Hearing Before the Committee on Veterans Affairs, United States Senate, One Hundred Third Congress, Second Session, September 14, 1994 The Committee met, pursuant to notice, at 2:10 p.m. in room SR-418, Russell Senate Office Building, Hon. John D. Rockefeller IV (Chairman of the Committee) presiding. Present: Senators Rockefeller, Daschle, and Murkowski. Also present (staff): Jim Gottlieb, chief counsel/staff director; Margaret M. Morrow, counsel; and John Moseman, minority staff director/chief counsel. Chairman Rockefeller. The Committee will come to order. I note the presence of Senator Daschle. Senator Daschle, do you have any opening remarks you want to make? Senator Daschle. Mr. Chairman, I do, and I appreciate very much your recognizing me this afternoon. I thank you for all the leadership you have shown on this now for such a long period of time. I am grateful to you, and I have enjoyed our partnership in trying to resolve many of these issues. Opening Statement Of Senator Daschle Thousands of American servicemen and women were healthy when they went to the Persian Gulf, and sick when they returned home. They are suffering illnesses that their doctors are unable to diagnose. Many have watched helplessly as their spouses and children develop unexplainable symptoms. We do not yet know the cause or the causes of these illnesses. There are many plausible theories, but it may take years before the scientific community is able to give us the answers. These answers cannot come soon enough, however, for veterans or their families. What we do know is that these veterans, and now their loved ones, are clearly ill. They are ill because of their military service. The fact that we are still unable to pinpoint just what it is about their service that is making them sick must not prevent us from assisting these brave men and women in their time of need. In June, I introduced legislation that will provide compensation to Gulf War veterans disabled to a degree of 10 percent or more by undiagnosed illnesses.
