C. 2O-250 JUL 1 1 1978 TO ALL WITH AN INTEREST IN THE NATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON THE USE OF HERBICIDES IN FORESTRY The enclosed Forest Service Interim Directive further defines Forest Service policy on the use of 2,4,5-T and related compounds. It adds appropriate sections to the current Forest Service Manual on Pesticide-Use Management to provide for: (1) Special procedures for employment of women of child-bearing age, and (2) specific safety plans for each project where 2,4,5-T or related compounds are used. The cancellation of certain uses of 2,4,5-T in 1970 was based on the conclusion that fetal abnormalities found in mice exposed to 2,4,5-T constituted a reasonable doubt of safety, particularly to women of child-bearing age* Social changes over the last fev? years have given women the opportunity for employment in areas that once were considered open only to men. Since women of child-bearing age are now employed in occupations such as pesticide applicators, operators of highway maintenance equipment, foresters, and. chemical formulators, they have again become part of the population with potential for high exposure to 2,4,5-T and/or TCDD. However, due to the uncertainty that small animal test data can be extrapolated to an estimate of human risk, all women V7ill be given an opportunity to review the information and decide for themselves if they want to assume whatever risk might exist. Properly prepared project work and safety plans are invaluable training aids for new personnel and for acquainting everyone involved with the potential hazard of pesticide use. These provisions, which are in addition to those sent to you on April 28, further reflect our increasing effort to prevent possible adverse effects from using pesticides. We hope you agree. M.

Young Collection on Agent Orange comprises 120 linear feet and spans the late 1800s to 2005; however, the bulk of the coverage is from the 1960s to the 1980s and there are many undated items. The collection was donated to Special Collections of the National Agricultural Library in 1985 by Dr. Alvin L. Young (1942- ). Dr. Young developed the collection as he conducted extensive research on the military defoliant Agent Orange. The collection is in good condition and includes letters, memoranda, books, reports, press releases, journal and newspaper clippings, field logs and notebooks, newsletters, maps, booklets and pamphlets, photographs, memorabilia, and audiotapes of an interview with Dr. Young.</p> <p>For more about this collection, <a href="/exhibits/speccoll/exhibits/show/alvin-l--young-collection-on-a">view the Agent Orange Exhibit.</a></p> Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
