Will you be supporting H.R.6238 (Fort McClellan Health Registry Act)?

The Resolution you are citing, H.R. 6238, was introduced by Congressman Paul Tonko of New York's 20th congressional district on Sep 28, 2010 during the 111th Congress, 2009–2010. It received only one cosponsor and the bill was referred to committee where it died.

Then Congressman Tonko introduced H.R. 2052 (Fort McClellan Health Registry Act) on May 26, 2011. This time the bill received 27 cosponsors however it was once again referred to committee where it died never being brought to the House floor for a vote.

He then introduced H.R. 411 on January 23, 2013 and although it received 84 cosponsors it too never made it out of committee and died at the end of the session.

The newest bill from Congressman Tonko is H.R. 2622 introduced June 2, 2015. This is the Resolution before the committee at the present time.

Thank you for bringing this up Sergeant. I just finished rewriting my website on the subject to include the new legislation. http://TheFortMacVets.org

Absolutely. I will contact the entire Minnesota Congressional Delegation with the bill number tomorrow.

"From 1929 to 1971, an off-post Monsanto chemical plant operated south of Fort McClellan in Anniston. PCBs from the plant entered into the environment, and the surrounding community was exposed." The base however did not close until ordered closed in 1999. Numerous health issues have been cited and are similar in scope and nature to other veterans stationed at Fort McClellan as military police trainees, chemical school, and women's corps.
