We formally request that the following functions be conducted by an
organization outside the realm of the Department of the Navy and an

independent and unbiased entity performs the following duties.

Outreach:  A dedicated, publicized, outreach program in which former
NAF Atsugi, Japan residents can contact and address health concerns.
It would be beneficial to have this in place by 29 January 2010, as
this effort would contribute to an accurate registry and notification
programs. Suggest that an on-line database be created and made
available for former residents to access in which they can provide
contact, health and other pertinent information via email or phone.

Registry:  Prepared a valid residential registry, which includes all
former residents, with no exclusions; which can be utilized to provide
personnel information to the Department of Veterans' Affairs by 31
March 2010. As the Navy and Marine Corps Public Health Center (NMCPHC) have completed the 2009 Atsugi Health Study, a registry should be almost complete.

Notification: Publish and notify all NAF Atsugi, Japan residents and
the Department of Veterans' Affairs, by 30 April 2010, of all
chemicals that was documented, at any time during the incinerator
operations, to exceed safe exposure levels and categorized as
pollutants that are considered harmful to public health as set by
law.  Include an accurate list of cancer and non-cancerous illnesses
associated with each documented toxic chemical. The Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) produces toxicological
profiles which confirm health affects for many toxic chemicals, with
this in mind, I believe that there should not be any questions
regarding any adverse health affects caused by any specific toxic
chemical that was documented to exceed safe limits.

NAF Atsugi Health Survey: Request data be gathered from all persons who lived, worked or went to school and or attended day care at NAF Atsugi, Japan from 1983 - 2001, for six months or more, by 30 Sept 2010; data questions and or subject areas should be very broad in range which allows the respondents to include the following
information; Dates stationed at Atsugi: Information on children such
as ages while at Atsugi to include all children in utero, even if the
pregnancy ended after the respondent left Atsugi: health history,
medical complaints and or diagnosis that can be supported by health
records and any other information that is deemed vital so former
resident do not have to continue to repeat survey after survey
regarding this issue and in order to save funding dollars so this
effort will not have to be recurring.   Confirm that families did
accompany sponsor to NAF Atsugi, Japan and do not include persons in
the survey did not.  Collected data should then be compared to a
populace in which there is no known toxic contaminated air, soil,
water or food and all data shall be publish to include total count of
children and adults, all childhood and adult disease and or cancers,
with out any bias or exclusion.

Benefits & Compensation: Assure that military personnel, dependents and other qualifying populace received annual medical examinations to include thyroid, liver, and kidney functioning assessments as well Veterans' associated health care benefits and compensation.

Note: Currently the VA acknowledges DIOXIN (Agent Orange) related exposure for Vietnam Veterans.  The DON has fully documented the NAF Atsugi residents were exposed to detrimental levels of Dioxin.
