VETERANS GROUP CALLS FOR
RUMSFELD RESIGNATION
The American Gulf War Veterans Association (AGWVA) now calls for the resignation of
Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. In response to questioning by Sen. Robert C. Byrd,
(D-WV), Rumsfeld denied any knowledge that the United States had shipped biological
weapons to Iraq during the 1980’s. Rumsfeld was addressing the Armed Services Committee
last week, when he stated that he “…had no knowledge of any such shipments and doubted
that they ever occurred.”
There is no disputing the evidence that the U.S. provided bacteria and viruses as evidenced by
Senate Report 103-900, “United States Dual-Use Exports To Iraq And Their Impact On the
Health of The Persian Gulf War Veterans,” dated May 25,1994, chaired by Sen. Donald Riegle
(D-MI) of the Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. This Senate report was
available to all senators and listed among other items, Bacillus Anthracis, (anthrax)
Clostridium botulinum, and West Nile Fever Virus as pathogens that were shipped to Iraq in the
1980’s with the full knowledge of the Department of Commerce and the CDC.
