Re: [CPEO-MEF] Kelly Air Force Base (TX) health study

I stand corrected. In the August 2003 briefing I received, the Air Force 
did mention soil gas studies, and it concluded that there was no 
"apparent risk" to the community. Since then, it has conducted more soil 
vapor monitoring.

I plan to review the results of the sampling to see to what degree I 
agree with the conclusions.
