Subject
President Nixon and chemical and biological warfare.
Description
"There is one by-prodyct of America's environmental warfare that doctors are beginning to notice. Since 1967 there has been a rapidly increasing number of miscarraiges and malformed babies attributed to human exposure to herbicides. Several of the Army's most popular chemicals have been identified as possible teratogenic agents, meaning that like Thalidomide they are capable of producing serious birth defects when ingested by pregnant women. The Army has graciously agreed to restrict their use to areas of limited population"
