    How should the VA balance presumptive eligibility for Guam veterans against the need to verify herbicide exposure actually occurred at specific locations?

  2. 02

    What evidence exists that herbicide exposure in Guam during 1958-1980 caused the specified diseases at rates comparable to Agent Orange exposure elsewhere?

  3. 03
