Lawmakers and advocates rallied outside the U.S. Capitol Thursday, urging House lawmakers to extend a fund for victims of U.S. nuclear testing that is set to expire in less than a month.
But critics say the program is too expensive and should be winding down, and it’s not clear if the House will act before the looming deadline.

As I am among the thousands who were exposed to radiation before it was considered dangerous (?). Funny thing, the government cannot find my exposure record from the testing in 1962 Pacific. They could find enough to send me a letter saying I am an Atomic Veteran. But it took 20+ years. Has anyone else had trouble getting their exposure records,???
