Pennsylvania Street Carol J. Rutherford, Director - Maryland No. 29-02 Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 November 12,2002 Please Return Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense (SHAD) Update Project Shipboard Hazard and Defense refers to a series of tests, conducted between 1962- 1973, that accessed the ability of US naval ships to maintain war-fighting capability in the event of a chemical or biological attack. The tests were conducted in various locations and various climates to access the behavior of the agents in various environments. Planned by the Deseret Test Center, the tests involved service members from the Navy, Army, Marines, and Air Force. Some of the tests utilized live chemical and biological warfare agents, while others used simulants. Crewmembers mayor may not have been informed of their participation and protection/decontamination procedures. Crewmembers are said to have been the test conductors, while lab animals were the test subj ects. Proj ect SHAD was a part of Project 112, the l1ih test of a larger testing series. Project 112 also included land-based testing. New Fact Sheets Released A total of 41 tests have been declassified to date. The Department of Defense (DoD) released five new detailed fact sheets on Cold War-era chemical and biological warfare tests conducted in support of Project 112 on October 31, 2002. Two of the tests were partially conducted on the Panama Canal Zone and Hawaii. Another was conducted entirely in the Panama Canal Zone. A fourth test was conducted in a tropical jungle environment in an unspecified location. Investigators continue to seek information for this test, which used the riot-control agent CS, commonly known as tear gas. Simulants for chemical and biological warfare agents were used in all the other tests, except for one that used the nerve agent sarin in Hawaii. On October 9, 2002, (DoD) released fact sheets on 28 declassified SHAD and Project 112 tests. The 28 recently declassified tests include land-based as well as sea-based test. According to the Department of Defense, there were 134 tests planned between 1963 and 1975. 46 tests were actually executed. 62 tests were cancelled. There are 26 tests with unknown status. Land based testing took place in Hawaii, Maryland, Alaska, Florida, "Pioneering Quality Service to veterans and Their Families" Utah, Canada, and Great Britain. DoD has released fact sheets for 41 of 46 tests known to have been conducted by the Deseret Test Center. Chemical warfare agents (CWA) used include: nerve agents (tabun (GA), sarin (GB), soman (GD) , (VX) and bezolate incapacitating agent (BZ). Biological warfare agents (BWA) used include: Q Fever (coxiella bumetii), rabbit fever (pasteurella francisella tularensis), wheat stem rust (puccinia graminis var. tritici), and staphylococcal enterotoxin B (pG2). Other potentially harmful tracer materials, decontaminants, and simulants were also used. Fact sheets on all the SHAD tests can be viewed on the VA's web site at www.va.gov/SHAD, or on the DeploymentLink page at www.deploymentlink.osd.mil. These fact sheets contain infonnation on the nature of the respective tests, where and when they were ,?onducted, which ships/ branches were involved, what agents were used, and possible health risks. Health of SHAD Veterans Since little infonnation has been collected about the health status of SHAD veterans, the VA has awarded a contract to the Institute of Medicine (10M) for a three year study of the health of SHAD veterans. The V A also offers medical evaluations to veterans who feel their participation in the tests may have adversely affected their health. To get a medical evaluation, veterans should call the SHAD Helpline at 1-800-749-8387 or email the infonnation request to [email protected]. The VA has been attempting to keep their medical centers aware of issues involving the health of SHAD veterans. On August 26, 2002, The Under Secretary for Health (USH) . issued a third SHAD infonnation letter to VA medical centers which contained infonnation about the first 12 tests declassified by ·DoD. Field facilities received the SHAD directive on August 29, 2002. As of August 1, 2002, there were compensation claims pending for 28 veterans who believed their ailments were due to participation in SHAD. Outreach The Under Secretary for Benefits released two sets of outreach letters to SHAD veterans: 622 (May 17, 2002) and 777 (August 15, 2002). The first letters were sent to veterans who participated in Autumn Gold, Shady Grove, and Copper Head only. The second set of letters were sent to participants of Purple Sage, Scarlet Sage, Eager Belle Phase I and II, Flower Drum Phase I and II, Fearless Johnny, DTC 68-50, and DTC 69-32 only. Some of the participants who received letters on August 15th had also received letters from the initial set of letters, due to their possible involvement in more than one test. 2 Proposed SHAD Leeislation To view the following bills, please go to www.thomas.loc.gov. *S 2514: National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2003. Includes an amendment that addresses infonnation disclosure for SHAD. *HR 5060: "Veterans Right to Know Act of 2002 was created to provide disclosure of infonnation on DoD projects that involve chemical and biological agent testing, which may expose service members to toxic agents. *S 2704: Senate version of the ''Veterans Right to Know Act of 2002" also created to provide disclosure of infonnation on DoD projects that involve chemical and biological agent testing, which may expose service members to toxic agents.

    US Army Has Admitted to Conducting 100S of Germ Warfare Tests on Americans

    US Army Has Admitted to Conducting 100s of Germ Warfare Tests On Americans The U.S. Army has admitted that it secretly conducted at least 239 germ warfare tests in locations across the country, targeting unsuspecting Americans. By Rachel Blevins, April 28, 2018 https://thefreethoughtproject.com/army-admitted-conducting-hundreds-germ-warfare-tests- americans/ While the United States government claims to be horrified every time there are reports of a chemical attack that was allegedly carried out by the Syrian government, history serves as a reminder that the U.S. is responsible for carrying out a number of chemical attacks on thousands of unsuspecting Americans, and some of the innocent victims are still suffering from the effects today. In 1977, the U.S. Army admitted that it secretly conducted at least 239 germ warfare tests in the open air in cities across the country between 1949 and 1969. The areas where the lethal germs were simulated on the public were typically in major cities such as Washington D.C., San Francisco, New York City, Key West and Panama City, according to a report the Army submitted to the Senate Health Subcommittee. In the report, the Army insisted that the purpose of the tests was to study how biological warfare affects the public, in case it needs to defend against it. Calling tests “essential,” the Army claimed it needed to “substantiate theories and fill knowledge gaps and to determine vulnerability to attack.” According to a report from the Washington Post, the release of the Army’s censored report was “the most complete official version of this nation’s biological warfare effort,” and it revealed that in addition to public areas, military personnel and their families were also targeted: “The Army listed 27 times that it tested simulated toxins on public property, including releasing spores in two tunnels on a stretch of Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Introduction A new form of annual meetings for states parties to the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC)1 and the First Review Conference of the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) were held in 2003,2 and a new ad hoc cooperative mechanism aimed at stopping the spread of chemical and biological methods of warfare, the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), was established.3 In 2003 the military occupation of Iraq also occurred, and Libya unilaterally renounced chemical and biological weapons. The first of the annual series of expert and political meetings of states par- ties to the BTWC was held in accordance with the decision of the reconvened 2002 Fifth BTWC Review Conference. These are scheduled to continue until the Sixth Review Conference in 2006. The focus of the meetings in 2003 was on ensuring that the parties adopt the necessary national measures to imple- ment the convention’s prohibitions, including through the enactment of penal legislation, and on establishing and effectively implementing national mechan- isms to maintain the security and oversight of pathogenic organisms and toxins. The First Review Conference of the CWC agreed two documents: a political declaration and a consolidated review document that identifies implementation areas requiring attention and recommends measures for improvement. A special conference of the parties to the CWC, held during the review confer- ence, took a final decision to implement a policy that limits the tenure of employees in the Technical Secretariat (TS) of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to seven years.

    Guide to the Sussex Harvard Information Bank

    July 2010 Guide to the Sussex Harvard Information Bank Origin, purpose and scope Otherwise known as SHIB, the Sussex Harvard Information Bank on Chemical/Biological-Warfare Armament and Arms Limitation is a component of the Harvard Sussex Program (HSP) that charitable foundations have long been supporting at Harvard and Sussex universities so as to promote scholarly inputs into the formation of public policy regarding chemical and biological weapons (CBW). SHIB is the product of a concerted and continuing effort to acquire up-to-date information about CBW and to make that information available not only to HSP staff and associates but also (within obvious limits) to the wider community. It gives strength to the research, teaching and wider outreach activities of HSP. Possession of CBW is nowadays prohibited by international law binding upon the great majority of states. HSP looks for ways of preventing any resurgence of CBW through governance of applicable technology. So SHIB exists in order to facilitate and empower policy- orientated research in the field of CBW disarmament, technology governance and associated international regime formation and implementation. The secrecies and sensitivities associated with CBW have always restricted the information available for such research. The design and content of SHIB are meant as countermeasures. This objective directs the emphases in SHIB's holdings and in the way in which the holdings are organized. Thus, there is a particular emphasis on acquisition of uptodate political information, a current-awareness function that is also expressed in the News Chronology section of the HSP quarterly journal, The CBW Conventions Bulletin, founded in 1988 (as Chemical Weapons Convention Bulletin until its renaming in 1997).
