be swallowed.  The effects would be local irritation just as in the bronchi 
and exposures of the same amount would be required. The stomach, caecum and 
rectum, where contents remain for longer periods than elsewhere would be most 
likely affected.  It is conceivable that ulcers and perforations of the gut 
followed by death could be produced, even without an general effects from 
radiation".  
Today, while medical problems increase medical care is denied or delayed for 
all uranium exposed casualties while United States Department of Defense and 
British Ministry of Defense officials continue to deny any correlation between 
uranium exposure and adverse health and environmental effects.  They contend 
that they can spread radioactive waste (uranium 238) in anyone's backyard 
without cleaning it up and providing medical care.  Their arrogance is astonishing!

    Conclusions and recommendations derived as a result of the DU Project 
(1994-1995) were that: (1) All DU contamination must be removed and disposed of 
to prevent future exposures.  (2) Specialized radiation detection devices that 
detect and measure alpha particles, beta articles, x-rays, and gamma rays 
emissions must be acquired and distributed because standard radiation detection 
equipment will not detect DU contamination.. (3) Medical care must be provided 
to all DU casualties. (4) All individuals who enter, climb on, or work within 
25 meters of any DU contaminated equipment or terrain must wear respiratory and 
skin protection. (5) DU contaminated and damaged equipment or materials 
should not be recycled to manufacture new materials or equipment. (6) All 
individuals who may encounter DU must complete specialized education and training.
    Even though Department of Defense directives have required medical care, 
education and training, and environmental remediation for years: (1) Medical 
care has not been provided to all DU casualties.  (2) Environmental remediation 
has not been completed. (3) Contaminated and damaged equipment and materials 
have been recycled to manufacture new products. (4) Training and education has 
only been partially implemented. (5) Contamination management procedures have 
not been distributed and implemented.
    
    Today, all nationala dn international leaders governmental and religious 
and citizens of the world must raise a unified voice to demand a moratorium on 
current and future use of United Nations banned depleted uranium munitions 
and force the leaders of those nations that have used depleted uranium munitions 
to recognize the immoral consequences of their actions, provide medical care 
to "all" DU casualties, and complete environmental remediation. And to cite a 
famous quotation: "AND A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM".  But if the children are sick 
or dead and the citizens of the world permit this to continue then there will 
not be a child who can fulfill the prophecy and lead us to peace.
