Wow, this is a great victory.

You had to lead this woman by the nose, but she is finally listening.

Great job!

Thank you David, for your doggedly persistant work on the complex issue of depleted uranium, more so in helping in providing context to Sen. Cantwell's letter to SOD, Rumsfeld.  Recognizing also your continued work with Sen. Cantwell and her staff to get this action accomplished.

I know you know that we now have legislation in WA addressing funding study of troops exposure to depleted uranium, at $150,000.00, which passed in 2006 session. (link Washington State's DU Bill in the Final Budget .)  I'm pleased to have been a part of that effort but once again, others initiated it and I was invited into the process. My small contributions included written testimony into the record (legislative session hearings) and an apparantly well placed call to my state Senator Mark Doumit when it looked like the bill would not be passed due to an issue of not enough time; too many bills.  I take no credit for a saavy approach, often it truly is others that do the grunt work and when I'm invited in, I let my intuition and nose guide me.

 Getting it approved by our own WA legislators is a beginning and adds WA to the small list of other states (LA and CT) to have passed legislation on depleted uranium exposure.

David, I'm sure you are aware of the most recent scientific study from Northern Arizona University, April 2006.  It addresses depleted uranium and aside from radioactive aerosol properties when dispersed, new study shows as a 'heavy metal' it is shown can bind to human DNA, which lends to causing mutations.

 

Uranium's Effect On DNA Established

The use of depleted uranium in munitions and weaponry is likely to come under intense scrutiny now that new research that found that uranium can bind to human DNA. The finding will likely have far-reaching implications for returned soldiers, civilians living in what were once war-zones and people who might live near uranium mines or processing facilities.

Uranium - when manifested as a radioactive metal - has profound and debilitating effects on human DNA. These radioactive effects have been well understood for decades, but there has been considerable debate and little agreement concerning the possible health risks associated with low-grade uranium ore (yellowcake) and depleted uranium.

Now however, Northern Arizona University biochemist Diane Stearns has established that when cells are exposed to uranium, the uranium binds to DNA and the cells acquire mutations, triggering a whole slew of protein replication errors, some of which can lead to various cancers. Stearns' research, published in the journals Mutagenesis and Molecular Carcinogenesis, confirms what many have suspected for some time - that uranium can damage DNA as a heavy metal, independently of its radioactive properties. "Essentially, if you get a heavy metal stuck on DNA, you can get a mutation," Stearns explained. While other heavy metals are known to bind to DNA, Stearns and her team were the first to identify this characteristic with uranium.

Depleted uranium - what is left over when the highly radioactive isotopes of uranium are removed - is widely used by the military. Anti-tank weapons, tank armor and ammunition rounds are just some of the applications. "The health effects of uranium really haven't been studied since the Manhattan Project (the development of the atomic bomb in the early 1940s). But now there is more interest in the health effects of depleted uranium. People are asking questions now," Stearns said.

Her research may shed light on the possible connection between exposure to depleted uranium and Gulf War Syndrome, or to increased cancers and birth defects in the Middle East and Balkans. And closer to home, questions continue to be asked about environmental exposure to uranium from mine tailings; heavily concentrated around Native American communities. "When the uranium mining boom crashed in the '80s, there wasn't much cleanup," Stearns said. Estimates put the number of abandoned mines on the Navajo Nation in Arizona at more than 1,100.

I am pleased to announce that Senator Maria Cantwell has sent a letter to Secretary Rumsfeld on the failure of the U.S. Government to support the United Nations Environmental Program's assessment of sites contaminated with depleted uranium in Iraq. Please find the letter attached.

This letter demonstrates Senator Cantwell's commitment to understanding the medical and environmental implications of using depleted uranium munitions in Iraq. This remarkable letter follows the letter Senator Cantwell sent last week to Secretary Rumsfeld on the question of medical research on servicemembers exposed to depleted uranium aerosols.

Today's letter is entirely the work of Senator Cantwell and her dedicated staff. In particular, I would like to single out the excellent work of Jonathan Hale, Senator Cantwell's Legislative Counsel for Foreign Affairs.

Here is the letter:

April 20, 2006

The Honorable Donald H. Rumsfeld
Secretary of Defense
1000 Defense Pentagon
Washington, DC 20301-1000

Dear Secretary Rumsfeld:

I am writing to express my concern about the potential impact on our troops and civilian populations from long-term exposure to depleted uranium particularly in aerosolized form. As you know, the health effects of exposure to depleted uranium have been a subject of debate. Some scientific studies have found that the chemical toxicity of depleted uranium may cause kidney damage and may be carcinogenic depending on concentration and duration of exposure. Physicians have observed birth defects in children born in contaminated areas and raised questions about links to exposure to depleted uranium. There are also concerns about possible soil or ground contamination in areas exposed to significant quantities of depleted uranium.

The Iraqi Ministry of the Environment has asked the United States Environment Program ("UNEP") to conduct an assessment of potential depleted uranium contamination in Iraq. In February 2006, the UNEP made a formal request to the U.S. Permanent Mission to Geneva for information regarding the use of depleted uranium munitions in Iraq by U.S. troops, during 1991 Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm and the 2003 Operation Iraqi Freedom. The UNEP has already been training and working with Iraqi experts on-the-ground assessing target sites in the Basra region identified by the British Ministry of Defense. However, the UNEP indicates that its request for information from the United States is still pending at this time.

The United States should make every effort to assist the UNEP with its assessment of potential depleted uranium contamination in Iraq. Moreover, the Bush administration must take this and every opportunity to engage the international community on Iraq. Helping the UNEP with this study would also address a problem that concerns the Iraq people and might generate much needed goodwill.

Sincerely,

Maria Cantwell
United States Senator

The membership of the 36th District Democrats passed the following resolution of thanks for Sen. Cantwell:

WHEREAS the 36th District Democrats passed a Depleted Uranium Study and Test resolution at the April 2005 membership meeting;

WHEREAS the resolution was subsequently passed by the 43rd and 45th District Democrats, Washington Physicians for Social Responsibility, and the Washington State Democratic Central Committee;

WHEREAS on April 13, 2006 Senator Maria Cantwell sent to Secretary Rumsfeld a letter demanding answers to questions about the current state of research on the medical effects of exposure to depleted uranium aerosols; and

WHEREAS on April 20, 2006 Senator Maria Cantwell sent to Secretary Rumsfeld a letter demanding answers to questions about why the U.S. Government has not been supporting the United Nations Environment Program's assessment of sites contaminated with depleted uranium in Iraq;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 36th District Democrats commend Senator Maria Cantwell for her ongoing commitment to ensuring that we adequately understand the long-term health effects of depleted uranium exposure and environmental contamination.
