This passed Senate floor vote 92-3 goes to conference committee to work
difference House vs senate............SO one step closer................will
keep all infoed but Gulf War illness research money is included...............
Now we have Defense Appropriations to floor of Senate tomorrow that also has
gulf war illness research funds......so same process will occur..........

WE asked for 30m but looks like we will get 15m.....authoriz and
appropriated.....but have to wait for final conference committees action on
both.........

When this is done we will need to thank Rep Kucinick, etal and Senator
Sanders etal and of course Defense approps and Defense Authoriz on both House and
Senate side and VA committees on House and Senate that had hearings to
highlight the need for these funds.

That is what the July House VA Hearing and Senate VA September Hearings were
really all about. WE are not done.....................

WE have other issues to work on too.............IOM mess, MS, Clinical Care
Needs, Data needs.........if you are ready to get involved and help let us
know

7/9/2007) (proposed 7/9/2007)
AMENDMENT PURPOSE:
SA 3082. Mr. SANDERS (for himself, Mr. Byrd, Mr. Bond, Mr. Feingold, Mr.
Webb, and Mr. Burr) submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to amendment
SA 2011 proposed by Mr. Nelson of Nebraska (for Mr. Levin) to the bill H.R.
1585, to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2008 for military
activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense
activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel
strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on
the table; as follows:
At the end of subtitle B of title II, add the following:
SEC. 214. GULF WAR ILLNESSES RESEARCH.
(a) Funding.--
(1) ADDITIONAL AMOUNT.--The amount authorized to be appropriated by section
201(1) for research, development, test, and evaluation, Army is hereby
increased by $15,000,000, with the amount of the increase to be allocated to
Medical Advanced Technology (PE #0603002A) for the Army to carry out, as part of
its Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs, a program for Gulf War
Illnesses Research.
(2) OFFSET.--The amount authorized to be appropriated by section 101(2) for
missile procurement for the Army is hereby decreased by $15,000,000, with the
amount of the decrease to be allocated to amounts available for Patriot
System Summary (Line 2) for Patriot PAC-3 missiles.
(b) Purpose.--The purpose of the program shall be to develop diagnostic
markers and treatments for the complex of symptoms commonly known as ``Gulf War
Illnesses (GWI)'', including widespread pain, cognitive impairment, and
persistent fatigue in conjunction with diverse other symptoms and abnormalities,
that are associated with service in the Southwest Asia theater of operations in
the early 1990s during the Persian Gulf War.
(c) Program Activities.--
(1) Highest priority under the program shall be afforded to pilot and
observational studies of treatments for the complex of symptoms described in
subsection (b) and comprehensive clinical trials of such treatments that have
demonstrated effectiveness in previous past pilot and observational studies.
(2) Secondary priority under the program shall be afforded to studies that
identify objective markers for such complex of symptoms and biological
mechanisms underlying such complex of symptoms that can lead to the identification
and development of such markers and treatments.
(3) No study shall be funded under the program that is based on psychiatric
illness and psychological stress as the central cause of such complex of
symptoms (as is consistent with current research findings).
(d) Competitive Selection and Peer Review.--The program shall be conducted
using competitive selection and peer review for the identification of
activities having the most substantial scientific merit, utilizing individuals with
recognized expertise in Gulf War illnesses in the design of the solicitation
and in the scientific and programmatic review processes.
