So many inquiries were received by the Transportation Section that a special request was made for em- ployees not planning immediate vacations to delay their questions.

This report is the third of many reports that will be prepared in fulfillment of Contract VA-101-12-C- 0006, Development of an Archival Directory of Agent Orange Documents. The goal of developing this directory is to search and identify the thousands of documents, reports, and correspondence located within our National Archives and Re- cords Administration and other document repositories that relate to the use of “Tactical Herbicides” including Agent Or- ange, outside of Vietnam. As in the case of the Canal Zone and Panama, the Compensation Service has not had a comprehensive search of the records that were dispersed to facilities across the United States. Thus, the Department of Veterans Affairs has been dependent on minimal documentation in determining the validity of the veterans’ claims. Clearly, it is beneficial to all parties to have all the available records related to events involving possible exposure to Agent Orange.
