                  <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;

1 6TH DECEMBER_,_ 1982^

The Minister for A g r i c u l t u r e and Fisheries,
Jack Hal lam, said today that Cabinet has approved of wide
ranging controls over the p e s t i c i d e spray 2,4,5-T.
Mr. Hallam has also released the report of the New
South Wales Government Committee of Inquiry into the Use
and Safety of 2,4,5-T.
The Committee, which was chaired by Mr. Walter Lewer,
former Deputy Chief Stipendiary Magistrate, received 109
submissions.

Its recommendations have been substantially

adopted by Cabinet.
Cabinet has decided that:
1.

The legal limit of TCflD (dioxin) contaminant in
2,4,5-T will be reduced from the present limit of
0.1 parts per m i l l i o n to 0.01 parts per million.
"The

level has been lowered on the universally

accepted principle that concentrations of toxic
substances should be reduced to the minimum
achicveable."

The New South Wales standard is now

equal to that applying in V i c t o r i a and the U.K.
2.

The higher v o l a t i l e ester f o r m u l a t i o n s of 2,4,5-T
will be w i t h d r a w n .

"This w i l l reduce spray d r i f t

by only a l l o w i n g use of t h e lowr-r v o l a t i l e amine and
ester formulations," M r . H a l l a m s a i d .
3.

Use would be prevented in home gardens.

Availability

will be r e s t r i c t e d for sale in supermarket s, home
garden stores, nurserifs, hardware stores and
similar retailers.
4.

All i m p l i c a t i o n of 2,^,5-T from nircr.'ift or n i s t i n g
n.-ichincs w i l l Le p r o h i b i t r d . "A r.pccific p e r m i t vould
be r e q u i r e d to be issm-d under the P e s t i c i d e s A c t ,
1978, for such use," fir. H a l l a m s a i d .

5.

Application of 2,4,5-T within a distance of 50 metres
of any inhabited dwelling, public building, dam, river,
water channel, or stream would also require a permit.

6.

To prevent the possibility of consumption, all
application of 2,4,5-T to blackberries bearing ripe
fruit will be prohibited.

7.

All applicants for registration of 2,4,5-T will be
required to keep records, and make returns, of the
amount sold or supplied in N.S.W.

8.

To protect employees, all workers including Government
and Local Government, will be required to wear
protective clothing when mixing or using 2,4,5-T.
Employees will be required to wear a boiler type suit
with sleeves and buttoned at the wrists and throat,
gauntlet gloves, washable hat and impervious boots or
shoes. When mixing, a face shield is to be worn; and
when working in any spray drift, a respirator.
"Employers will be required to provide the protective
clothing to employees," Mr. Hallam said.

9.

Government and Local Government employees exposed to
2,4,5-T will be required to undergo regular medical
examinations to measure occupational exposure.

10.

Employers will be required to give appropriate
training to employees on the correct use of 2,4,5-T.

11.

"Defective equipment in respect to leakages, spillages
and spray output will not be allowed," Mr. Hallam said.

"The Government has taken account of the A.C.T.U.
Executive recommendations on this chemical.
"An Advisory Committee on pesticides has been established
The Committee is to consist of senior officers representing
various Government Departments together with a Trade Union
representative and a rrprcccntative of cnviroimental groups.

�-3The broad terms of reference of the Committee are to:
*

Keep certain pesticides under review; including the
uses to be allowed for such pesticides;

*

Examine new proposed uses of pesticides, where it is
considered special circumstances exist; and

*

Receive representations, in person and in writing,
from trade unions, environmental '• *
and other
*
••
organisations; and consider t.he evidence presented.

In addition the Pesticides Act,- 1978, will be amended
to require the licensing of aircraft app'lid'ators and pilots.

\
"Pilots will be required to demonstrate they are aware
of the problems associated with pesticides, and use of these
chemicals from aircraft," Mr. Hallam said.
"Licences could be suspended or even cancelled if
infringements occur."
Proprietors of agricultural aircraft operations will be
required to hold an appropriate insurance policy to cover loss
or damage.
"Aircraft will be required to be approved beforehand
and records of all spraying 'operations must be kept. These
records will be available to Inspectors at any time, or to other
persons upon reasonable reques't," Mr. Hallam said.

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;

Foreign Clearance:
The f o r e i g n clearance section of base operations provided briefings
for 233 flights to foreign destinations.

The number included, 15 B-57

a i r c r a f t to Bermuda on 2 and 3 June; 20 F-100 a i r c r a f t to France on
11 and 12 June; 35 high flight a i r c r a f t ; 18 T - 2 9 navigator training flights;
and,

180 other departures.

It provided additional support in cooperation

with the Coast Guard for the air search for the missing KB-50 discussed
previously in this chapter.
Special Aerial Spray Flight

The Special Aerial Spray Flight was a section of the n o n - O / T
authorization of the 4500th Air Base Wing.

Its purpose is to p e r f o r m

aerial spray missions in conformance with AFR 90-3, dated 21 March
1958, and TAG Supplement 90-3, dated 15 March 1961. The policies
and responsibilities are outlined in these regulations.
Training pilots to qualify as both C-123 pilots and spray pilots was
a p r i m a r y problem.

Pilots w e r e either qualified in one phase or the

other during the entire period and at the close of the reporting period
no pilot assigned to the flight was a qualified spray pilot in the C-123
aircraft.

C r e w s w e r e being trained and plans indicated c r e w s qualified

in b o t h phases would be available soon. Shortage of personnel in administ r a t i v e and a i r c r e w p o s i t i o n s t o g e t h e r with absence of personnel on TDY

At the close of the reporting period, tests w e r e being conducted
using herbicides with the Advance R e s e a r c h P r o j e c t s Agency of
U. S. Government.
During the period three spraying missions were conducted at
Langley AFB.

Standardization Board

During the period of this report, the Standardization Board
has given 200 pilot and navigator standardization checks.

A new

standardization program has been initiated for all multi-engine
support a i r c r a f t .

This program includes new w.ritten examinations

and a more comprehensive flight check.

The two assigned personnel

of the Wing Standardization Board attended the TAG SEG School.
The Wing Standardization Board has only one major w r i t e - u p
during the IG Inspection. This w r i t e - u p was for not being properly
manned.

All flight mechanics have been given a new w r i t t e n examina-

tion in their appropriate a i r c r a f t .
The Standardization/Evaluation Review Panel has'held one meeting

the installation of a pony teletype circuit which, speeds the delivery
of NOTAMs.

Plans called for a passenger lounge, an improved

dispatch section, and an improved snack bar.
The Foreign Clearance section provided foreign clearance
briefings to 233 flights clearing to foreign destinations.

Of this

number, 48 were high flight aircraft, 16 were T-29 navigation
training flights, and 189 others which included many flights from
the 4505th Air Refueling Wing.
The section was host in providing a four-hour navigation orientation program for 150 ROTC Cadets in August. In October and
November, the Foreign Clearance section moved to temporary
facilities to provide space for crews standing alert during the
Cuban operation.

Special Aerial Spray Flight
The Special Aerial Spray Flight, a section of the non Operations/
Training authorization of the 4500th Air Base Wing for the purpose
of performing Aerial Spray Missions in accordance with AFR 91-22,
was the responsibility of the Commander, 4500th Air Base Wing.
The responsibilities included development of aerial insecticide
dispersal techniques in cooperation with other government agencies,

�66
training aircrews for the performance of spray missions, and
maintaining a repository of special flying and technical skills
for expansion, disaster relief, and tactical operations.

The

spray flight also maintained, published and distributed to
interested agencies biological and operational information
concerning the aerial spray program.
During this period 16 bases were approved for aerial spray
work; however, only 11 bases were serviced because modification
of the aircraft for granular insecticide dispersal was not completed
in time to service the 16 bases that were approved for spraying.

o

Statistics for this period are as follows:
28 sorties were flown.
368,050 acres were covered.
33,484 gallons were aerially dispersed.
68:40 spray time was recorded.
75:10 f e r r y time to and from bases sprayed.
$.33 average cost per acre for the period.
$52,170. 90 total cost for this period.
Sixteen missions were flown in support of the Advance Research
Projects Agency (ARPAJ tests conducted at Eglin AFB, Fla. The
program began during the last week of June 1962. 33:40 hours spray
time was recorded in dispersing 4, 251 gallons of spray.

Plans have

been made to complete the ARPA test in the spring of 1963 at Eglin

AFB, Fla.

Special Aerial Spray Flight
The special aerial spray flight continued operations
providing aerial insecticide dispersal services for agencies
of the Department of Defense and for other agencies as
directed by Hq TAG.

The flight continued development of

aerial insecticide dispersal techniques in cooperation with
interested government agencies; it trained aircrews; it
maintained records of special flying and technical skills
needed for expansion, disaster relief, and tactical operations;
and it maintained, published, and distributed to interested
agencies biological and operational information.
The flight was a non operations-training section authorized
by AFR 91-22, 10 September 1962, and it was responsible to the
commander of the 4500th Air Base Wing.

The flight was

supervised by Capt. Carl W. Marshall and had a complement
of 17 pilots, 10 flight engineers, one clerk typist, and one
entomologist, Dr. (Capt.) Claude T.' Adams.
Seven aircraft were assigned to the flight.

Three of these

were committed to Viet Nam, one was undergoing modification
to a granular spray system, one was undergoing calibration tests

�54

for a new and larger spray system at Eglin AFB, Fla. , and
two were available for spraying in the United States.
Headquarters TAG approved 21 government reservations
for spraying.

By the end of the period, only seven of these

areas had been sprayed because of the unusually low temperatures experienced this spring.
Statistics covering the spray operations follow:

$74, 731. 30

In addition to the spraying of government reservations, the
flight was engaged in three other activities.

The first was a

calibration test conducted at Lackland AFB, Tex. in January.
The 6570th EPI Laboratory at Lackland was to evaluate the
dispersal techniques and procedures used by the spray flight.
Even though the 6570th EPI Laboratory had the responsibility
to set up the test program, their personnel were not familiar
with the present day modern dispersal techniques. As a result,
the evaluation program was of little value.

�55

A second activity took place at Eglin AFB, Fla. A program
began in May to test a larger spraying system.

The test program

was still underway at the end of the period and the final results
may be available in July or August.
The last of the three activities took place in Viet Nam.
Three crew and aircraft were committed to this operation
during the entire period.

The average length of tour for each

crew averaged approximately four months, with the tours being
rotated among the spray flight personnel.

This rotation of

crew personnel to Viet Nam caused an occasional temporary
shortage of qualified spray flight crews in the United States.
The mission in Viet Nam concerned defoliation activities.

Safety
The Office of Safety incurred three personnel changes during
the period 1 January through 30 June 63. A civilian secretary
to the Director of Safety was promoted and transferred to Hq
TAG.

Immediately following this action, a freeze was placed

on hiring civilian personnel a,nd as a result, the position was
abolished to enable the Wing to meet a directed manpower cut.

�49
over-water navigation proficiency flights during the period.
F i f t y - s e v e n navigators used these flights to accomplish the
AFM 60-1 flying requirements.

Twenty-eight proficiency

flights were scheduled during the six-month period.

Eighteen

were flown as scheduled and 10 were cancelled or aborted due
to maintenance.

Special Aerial Spray Flight
The Special Aerial Spray Flight, authorized by AFR 91-22,
10 September 1962, was responsible to the Commander, 4500th
Air Base Wing.

The mission of the Spray Flight was as follows;

To provide aerial insecticide dispersal services for all agencies
of the Department of Defense (DOD) and other government
agencies as directed by Headquarters TAG; to develop aerial
insecticide dispersal techniques in cooperation with other
government agencies; to train aircrews and maintain records
of special flying and technical skills, for expansion, disaster
relief and tactical operations; and to maintain, publish and
distribute to interested agencies biological and operational
information.
During this reporting period there were 17 pilots, 10 flight

�50

engineers and one clerk assigned with Captain Carl W.
Marshall as OIC.

Spray Flight was also authorized an

Entomologist, Captain Claude T. Adams.

Of the seven

assigned C-123 spray aircraft, three w e r e in Viet Nam
conducting defoliation missions, one aircraft completed
modifications to the granular system and underwent calibration testing at Macon Municipal Airport, Ga., and spent the
remainder of the period conducting spray operations against
fire ants at Liberty Field, Ga.
progress.

This operation is still in

9

These figures do not include the granular dispersal now
being conducted against fire ants, since this project is not
completed, nor does it include our defoliation missions in
Viet Nam or a special insecticide control mission against
bombay locusts in Bangkok, Thialand.
No serious problems w e r e encountered; however, due to
the rotation system of personnel to the Viet Nam area, aircraft
manning of c r e w s s u f f e r e d occasionally due to lag time between
crews returning and replacement crews rotating.

Flying Safety
The Wing experienced no accidents during the reporting period

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;
