                  <text>&lt;p style="margin-top: -1em; line-height: 1.2em;"&gt;The Alvin L. 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.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

Senator Luigi Noe1
Officio Speciale per Seveso
Via San Carlo 14
Seveso (KdlanQ), Italy
Dear Senator Noe1
I wish to extend to you my sincere appreciation for the support you provided
in arranging for the visit to the United States of Drs. Portunati and
LaPorta, and Engineer Piepoli. Their visit was welcomed by scientists in
New York, Missouri and Washington. Iheir presentations viere excellent and
their willingness to share the experiences of the Special Office of Seveso
ware nwst grateful appreciated. In summary, please be assured that they
proudly represented the Government of Loaibardi and should be congratulated
for a mission "well done".
As a result of the visit of Seveso Scientist, interest has been expressed in
developing a cooperative program with you and your staff. I have suggested
to Mr. Bobert Schreiber, Director, Division of Environmental Quality,
Missouri Department of National Resources (see attached letter) that there
at least four areas in which to establish "projects" of cooperation. These
are:
1. llie preparation of engineering design, special construction details
and iTianagerial plans for the construction and management of a large
containment facility (Basin) for dioxin-contaminated material.
2. 'Ihe joint funding and investigation of the biological uptake of
TCDD into vegetable crops.
3. Ine joint funding of studies on the chemical/biological destruction
of TCDD in soils in situ.
4. Exchange of analytical wethods, protocols, and results of long-term
studies on environmental contamination, toxicology, and inpact of dioxin on
human health.
I would also suggest that a cooperative effort may be possible witn the
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on raethods to destory
dioxin-contaminanted soil. I will continue to discuss this issue with Dr.
Donald Barnes and other Senior Scientists at SPA. In addition. Dr. John
Gierthy, Department of Public Health, State of New York has discussed with
«B his interest in evaluating the Cell Marphology Test for the analysis of
TO&gt;0 in soil. I will explore soae suggestions with you at a later date,
once Dr. Fbrtunati receives the results of the samples he provided to Dr.
Gierthv.

Senator Luiqi ;&gt;Joe'

1 believe we can conclude tn&amp;t a cooperative program is feasible and likely.
I concurred with Dr. fortunati that a visit to yeveso by t*r. Schreiber is
the iimvediate objective. 'Ib this end, I will encouraye Mr. Schreiber to
contact you and arrange for a visit.
Again, I wish to express my tftanks tor the superb cooperation tfiat we
already share. I look forward to visiting with you in May 19B4, if not
before.
With Best Regards,
