DESCRIPTION:The Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent Orange/Dioxin (VAVA) complete 
 their 11 cities tour Friday December 9th and Saturday December 10th in the 
 San Francisco Bay Area.  In 1973 the U.S. promised to contribute $3 billion 
 dollars toward healing the wounds of war and for post-war reconstruction of 
 Vietnam.  Little has been forthcoming.  Today the effects of the dioxin 
 Agent Orange continues to plague both the land and people of Vietnam as 
 well as U.S. Vietnam veterans.  Veterans for Peace, American Friends 
 Service Committee, Global Exchange, VietUnity, the U.S.-Vietnam Friendship 
 Association, and the Dow Accountability Project are co-sponsoring this 
 effort to educate the U.S. public, secure relief funds for VAVA support 
 activities (checks to “Veterans for Peace/VAVA”), and hold accountable 
 the U.S government and corporations such as Monsanto and Dow.  See website 
 at http://www.vn-agentorange.org.  Who:   Two survivors of exposure, Dang 
 Thi Hong who has suffered multiple miscarriages, and Ho Sy Hai, army 
 veteran truck driver suffers from chronic hepatitis among other 
 afflictions, are joined in the speaking tour by Dr. Nguyen Trong Nhan, 
 former President of the Vietnam Red Cross and VAVA official.  Pre-arrival 
 interviews available by telephone through Merle Ratner (917-733-2100). .
