have more and better information on which to base conclusions, at least for that compound.

Under the Agent Orange Act of 1991, the committee was asked to determine (to the extent that available scientific data permit meaningful determinations) the increased risk of various diseases it studies among those exposed to herbicides during their service in Vietnam. As discussed under the specific cancers, for most cancer outcomes there is insufficient data to quantitate the increased risk to Vietnam veterans.
