Subject: [CPEO-MEF] ATSDR COVER-UP of MARTIN/USAF SITE IN COLORADO
 
In the Air Force's site at the Lockheed Martin complex in Colorado, the
ATSDR has REFUSED to review adverse health outcomes to areas which received
contaminated water from the Martin/USAF rocket plant here for many years.
Furthermore, the Colorado Department of Health has refused the same health
outcome data to independent reseachers interested in studying certain
epidemiological connections.  The ATSDR's Ombudsman Ron Wilson was asked by
ATSDR admininstrator Barry Johnson to review our claims of cover-up over
what may be one of the worst cases of military toxic exposures to the public
from hydrazine rocket wastes and other poisons, yet Lockheed Martin put the
squeeze to the agency in efforts to block his involvement.  It's been 10
years since the site was named to te NPL, yet there is no finalized Public
Health Assessment released for public comment to date, on the Martin and
USAF sites and its impacts to public health in the Denver metropolitan area.

Can you spell "C-O-V-E-R  U-P"?
