VA's Agent Orange Examination Program:

Actions Needed To More Effectively

Address Veterans' Health Concerns


Although the Veterans Administration's
(VA's) agent orange examinations were
more thorough than veterans perceived,
GAO generally confirmed veterans' com-
plaints that

   --the examinations were not thoroughly
   conducted,

   --VA provided veterans little or no infor-
   mation on agent orange or their health,
   and

   --VA personnel were not well informed
   about the examination program.

 VA could reduce dissatisfaction and con-
 cerns by providing veterans timely and thor-
 ough examinations and adequate informa-
 tion about agent orange and their health.

 GAO makes several recommendations to
 improve program management and increase
 veterans' awareness of the agent orange-
 related services VA offers.
