Multiple residents of Guam recently offered oral testimony at a public hearing on Agent Orange contamination and radiation exposure. On April 4, the Guam Legislature's Committee on Culture and Justice convened a hearing to discuss Resolution 25-34 related to supporting the Fighting for Orange-Stricken Territories in Eastern Regions (FOSTER) Act, and Resolution 40-34 related to recognizing the radiation exposure of Enewetak Atoll cleanup veterans and including them in the Mark Takai Atomic Veterans Healthcare Parity Act. Frustration over Guam's leaders' inaction was a common theme for many who testified. For more information, read the article from the Pacific Daily News. Read Resolution 25-34 and Resolution 40-34.
