Guam - A petition requesting for a full investigation into all locations where Agent Orange herbicides were used and when they were used has been forwarded to the Obama Administration. The petition is on WhiteHouse.gov, and currently has 126 signatures. 5,000 signatures are needed before October 22 in order for the petition to be reviewed by the White House for an official response.

Several veterans and military families who were affected by Agent Orange during the Vietnam War, while Guam launched the effort. The group feels the issue should be of high priority claiming because of destroyed military records for routine base maintenance, any documentation was lost.

Congresswoman Madeleine Bordallo supports the initiative telling KUAM News individuals who may have been exposed to these chemicals deserve to have this matter investigated fully.
