The Agent Orange Brief fact sheets were designed to help Vietnam veterans, their families, and others concerned about these veterans. The briefs were prepared to answer many of the questions that have been raised regarding Agent Orange and related matters. The Environmental Agents Service at VA natiional headquarters in Washington, DC, prepared this fact sheet series in 1988, and updates it periodically. This edition was prepared in late December 1997, and does not include any subsequent developments. Copies of current Briefs are maintained by the Agent Orange Coordinator at VA medical centers. Comments about existing Briefs and ideas for future issues should be sent to Mr. Donald J. Rosenblum, Deputy Director, Environmental Agents Service (131), Department of Veterans Affairs, 810 Vermont Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20420. This Office also developed a similar fact sheet series, entitled Gulf War Briefs, for Gulf War veterans and their families. The following agent Orange Briefs are now available:
