The=A0Research Advisory Committee on Gulf War Veterans=92 Illnesses=A0will
be meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss proposed studies
focusing on the illness.
The committee was created in Congress in 1998 with the goal of
eventually improving the health of Veterans who served during the Gulf
War.
As troops returned home at the end of the first Gulf War, many began
developing health problems that did not fit any diagnosis. Some
Veterans suffer from=A0symptoms, such as fatigue, joint pain, headaches,
respiratory disorders and gastrointestinal disorders. The cause of
these symptoms is still unknown.
The meeting, which is open to the public, will take place in the
Lafayette Building at 811 Vermont Ave. NW, Washington, D.C., in Room
1143. On January 31, the meeting will begin at 8 am and adjourn at 5
pm. On February 1, the meeting will be 8 am to 12:30 pm. There will be
time set aside on both days for public comment.
