  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.

  • Unresolved Problems in the Indonesian Killings of 1965-1966
    UNRESOLVED PROBLEMS IN THE INDONESIAN KILLINGS OF 1965–1966 Robert Cribb More than a generation separates today’s Indonesians from the world in which the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) was extermi- nated. Nonetheless, during the last days of President Suharto’s slow fall from power, one of the dire warnings commonly heard was that Indonesia perhaps stood on the brink of a bloodletting similar to that which took place during the six months from October 1965 to March 1966. In fact, the broader politi- cal context of 1998 only slightly resembled that of 1965 and no genocidal slaughter took place. However, that the events of 1965–66 could be conjured up as a terrible warning demonstrated that the issues surrounding the means Suharto used to come to power were still alive even three decades later, ready to be conjoined with more current concerns as he was being forced out. The possibilities for reexamining the bloodletting have increased in recent years and with them so too has the need to do so become ever more urgent. During the past decade, a small but valuable stream of publications has ap- peared discussing the killings, especially in their regional context. Studies undertaken by Hefner, Robinson, Sudjatmiko, and Sulistyo 1 have greatly en- riched present-day understanding of what took place throughout Indonesia in Robert Cribb is Reader in the Division of Pacific and Asian History, Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies, Australian National University, Canberra.
