Send a Letter to President Clinton
Regarding Presumptive Status
For Cancers Caused by
Ionizing Radiation

Your help is needed to apply pressure to Togo West, VA (Veteran Affairs) Secretary, to declare known diseases caused by ionizing radiation, such as prostate, colon, lung and brain cancer, as presumptive.

One way to do this is to write the President of the United States, like the Honorable Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, Ranking Minority Member and Oscar Rosen, Ph.D., president, Atomic Veterans Radiation Research Institute did (see links at bottom of page).

This can be done in three ways:

  • U.S. Mail
  • Fax
  • E-Mail

If you are not experienced
with computers, click here.

For the computer experienced, here is the contact information you will need to send President Clinton a copy of Dr. Rosen's LETTER (this will open up a separate window in your browser. Close it out when you are finished). Be sure to make any changes necessary to the letter, place the date at the top, and put your name and physical address at the bottom.

Washington, DC 20500

    • Place the cursor on the top line of the main message window, hold down the CTL (Control) key and press the V key. This will place the entire blank letter in the main body of the message you are about to send.
