Representatives Madeleine Z. Bordallo (D-Guam), and Ron DeSantis (R-Florida) joined me in the request. We want to know where the U.S. stored, transferred, and used Agent Orange or its components and of any associated site contamination. GAO affirmed their commitment to examine issues related to Agent Orange, including where it was located and its health and environmental risks. GAO expects their review to be completed by Spring 2018. Over 11 million gallons of Agent Orange were used during the war. It has been linked to serious health problems in veterans. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
