VA starts D Uprogram
VET TKAX
• MIKE McLEOD
Division Director, Veterans Services
Depleted uranium (DU) is
an issue that received atten-
tion early on but hasn't been
talked about much lately.
The VA and Department of
Defense have created a de-
pleted uranium program to
screen and monitor vets who
were exposed to DU.
The program requires ac-
tive duty in the '90 - '91 Gulf
War, Bosnia, or Operation
Enduring Freedom, Opera-
tion Iraqi Freedom or Opera-
tion New Dawn
(OEF/OIF/OND).
The DU Follow-Up Program
focuses on vets who were in,
on or near vehicles hit with
friendly fire; rescue personnel
who entered or were near
burning vehicles, those who
salvaged damaged vehicles; or
servicemen near fires involv-
ing DU munitions.
For vets concerned about
exposure, the VA screening
program includes an expo-
sure quest!onnaire and a 24-
hour urine collection test.
Vets exposed to DU embed-
ded fragments or contami-
nated wounds will receive a
detailed physical exam, tests
of organ systems function
and recommendations for
treatment.
No health issues connected
to DU exposure have been
found in personnel. Nonethe-
less, the VA continues to
monitor our veterans'
health.
More information on this
topic can be found at pub-
lichealth.va.gov. Click on
Hazardous Exposure on the
left, then Resources & Mate-
rials under About Hazardous
Exposures on the right. Then
choose Health Registry Eval-
uation.
If you have any concerns
about exposure to DU, con-
tact this office or the nearest
VA Medical Center.
LETTERS, from page 11B
leadership been greater."
Gov. Rick Perry does not
provide that kind of leader-
ship. He would only lead us
to the bottom.
Bob Kimberling
Portola
Always a reason
There once was a man
named Obama
Who promised us all a new
life.
He did have some problems
to do so
'cause he had to check with
his wife.
He always had probl'ems to
' make up his mind
and thus told us lies of every
kind.
Our 401(k)s went down with
the stock market hell
and the price of our houses
just simply went to hell.
He wanted a program to
make our country green
but the green in our pockets
was never again to be seen.
Good people are losing their
house, car and wife
and the lack of a job simply
ruined their life.
The wars are still going, but
we are winning.
The enemies are happy and
go around grinning.
But he is calculated and acts
sly as a fox
and forgets our soldiers who
come home in a box.
The prices of fuel and food
are out of control
but he doesn't do a thing
'cause he is on a roll.
He used our money to buy
union votes
and forgets the need of re-
pairing the roads.
It seems that he knows, but

doesn't give a hoot
but at least he made Jimmy
Carter look good.
He's going through dollars
like grass through a goose,
but, there is always a reason
and that is George W.

Lack of concern
Representative Tom Mc-
Clintock, chairman of the
House Water and Power Sub-
committee, has joined sever-
al members of Congress from
Southern California in pro-
moting the San Joaquin Val-
ley Water Reliability Act
(House Resolution 1837). All
other representatives from
Northern California, Democ-
rats and Republicans alike,
as well as Sens. Feinstein
and Boxer, have taken
strong stands against the
bill. In supporting the bill,
which would pre-empt state
water law, McClintock has
reverted to his Southern Cal-
ifornia roots and demon-
strated his lack of concern
for the 4th Congressional
District.
Remember McClintock's
background. From 1982 to
1992, and from 1996 to 2000,
he served in the state Assem-
bly from the 38th As'sembly
District in Southern Califor-
nia. In 2000 he was elected to
the state Senate from the
19th Senate District in
Southern California. In 2004
he was re-elected to that po-
sition, but in 2008 he was
"termed out" of the state
Senate. At that point, he ran
for Congress from this dis-
trict, although he had never
lived here and could not vote
for himself. McClintock's po-
sition as the only representa-
tive from Northern Califor-
nia to speak out in favor of
HR 1837 indicates that he has
not yet made the transition
from Southern to Northern
Californian.

RECORD, from page lOB
Saturday, May 28, and again
Thursday, June 23, on the
California Newspaper Pub-
lishers Association Thurs-
day Tipsheet.
I've discovered through the
American Journalism Re-
view website that even
among journalists, opinions
differ about what "offthe
record" really means.
Missouri School of Jour-
nalism professor emeritus,
author and investigative
journalist Steve Weinberg
says reporters can listen to
and use the information as
long as it's not attributed to
any source.
The 1994 Associated Press
managing editor Darrell
Christian said the informa-
tion couldn't be used at all,
regardless of the circum-
stances.
So since even we reporters
can't agree, and since this
situation doesn't crop up too
often in the life of a commu-
nity chronicler, I'll just agree
with Peele.
We serve the public's inter-
est, and if our sources wish
to remain anonymous or
share information off the
record, they should ask us to
allow them that privilege.
At least I'm not a White
House correspondent who
regularly uses "according to
a senior official" by default.
