[BES Friends] depleted uranium study bill

[peaceethics at comcast.net]

Hi Folks, 

I am sending information on HR 2410 (The Depleted Uranium Munitions Study Act of 2005). I have written Rep. Cardin, called him, and sent him numerous emails concerning "depleted" uranium. 

I have just written him requesting he cosponsor this bill. Please ask your 
congressperson to cosponsor. 

In Peace, 

Carol Solomon 

The info comes via Marjorie Ramphal (Marjorieramphal at aol.com). She is an 
incredible source for important information. 

Bill calls for study of health effects of uranium weapons used in Iraq (estimates are 1000 tons of uranium weapons used in Iraq so far) --
            (1) to provide for studies of--
                  (A) the health effects resulting from exposure to depleted 
uranium munitions by inhalation, ingestion, or injection; and
                  (B) environmental contamination caused by depleted uranium at sites where depleted uranium was used in conflict, development, testing, or training and at sites where depleted uranium and depleted uranium munitions were produced; and
            (2) to require the cleanup and mitigation of depleted uranium 
contamination at sites of depleted uranium munition use and production in the United States.

21 cosponsors to date. Ask your US Representative to cosponsor.
