[Peace-discuss] Urgent message on radioactive munitions from Doug Rokke and Damacio Lopez

[Charles Jenks]

An urgent message on depleted uranium from
Dr. Doug Rokke and Damacio Lopez.

Dear Friends, 

We have a proposal for those individuals and organizations who wish to stop
the use of depleted uranium in weapons, ensure that medical care is
provided, and ensure that all environmental contamination is cleaned up.

Please join us in a world-wide campaign in demanding that the Pentagon of
the United States follow it's own directive requiring thorough environmental
remediation and that medical care is provided to all individuals
contaminated by depleted uranium and/or other low level radioactive
materials.

These legal mandates are prescribed in Army Regulation 700-48,* with
specific maximum exposure criteria in US Army Technical Bulletin 9-1300-278.
These require thorough environmental remediation and that medical care is
provided to all casualties.

The responsible person to uphold this regulation is

Dr. Michael Kilpatrick
The Special Assistant, Deployment Health Support
Four Skyline Place - Suite 901
5113 Leesburg Pike
Falls Church, VA 22041
Ph 1-800-497-6264.
e-mail: special.assistant at deploymenthealth.osd.mil

Let's encourage Dr. Kilpatrick to uphold these legal requirements.

LT. General Ronald Peake, then Surgeon General of the U.S. Army, also
appointed Colonel Robert Eng, Ph.D. (telephone 210-221-6612, email:
Robert.Eng at amedd.army.mil, Fort Sam Houston, Texas) as his representative to
ensure medical care is provided to all DU casualties when he issued his
medical order dated April 29, 2004.

Please get this message to as many people as possible; this might be the
straw that breaks the camels back. Past environmental remediation costs
alone would be in the billions of dollars.

In Solidarity 

Damacio Lopez and Doug Rokke, Ph.D.
