The legislation aims to help affected veterans and Vietnamese civilians get medical care, compensation, or other assistance for illnesses linked to Agent Orange contamination. The bill is being reviewed by committees that handle foreign policy and energy/environmental issues to determine what changes might be needed before a vote.
