This bi-partisan legislation introduced by the Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee on Health Dan Benishek (MI) and co-sponsored by Congressman Michael M. Honda (CA-17).

The passage of the Toxic Exposure Research Act of 2015 is one of the most important efforts that we can do to collectively assure that future military service generations learn from our experience and that our offspring receive the respect and consideration for the sacrifices and pain that they will endure from illnesses due to our service in Vietnam.
