It's finally here, a brand new House bill has been introduced by Congressman Chris Gibson (D, N.Y.). Bill HR-969, titled the Blue Water Navy, Vietnam Veterans Agent Orange Act, was presented to the 114th Congress on February 13, 2015, and is referred to the House Committee of Veterans Affairs. This new bill replaces an older bill that died in the VA Congressional Committee of 2014. The new bill is to clarify presumptions related to the exposure of certain veterans who served in the vicinity of the Republic of Vietnam and for other purposes.
