Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, gentlemen, for coming today.
I was amazed, although I had known and had forgotten about the Korean War, that they refused to call it a war and it's kept that recognition. It's amazing we can do that and be so short-sighted sometimes.
Mr. Peate, you mentioned the Australian studies and the three studies they did, all quality work. We accepted part of it. You mentioned that we now recognize eight cancers. If a Korean vet has it, it's automatically assumed he got it in Korea. What happened as a result of the other studies? And why did we just pick one instead of using all their information? We found value in what they were doing in providing service to the vets, so why didn't we take it further?
