Subject: Agent Orange - RSL Support submission

Michael Annett CEO RSL (VIC)

With reference to my submission dated the 01st of June 2006, in which I have attempted to familiarise you with the issue of dioxin contamination of potable water and of its possible consequences to many former members of the ADF who served in Vietnam and were returned to Australia aboard HMAS Sydney.

I hope you have had time to read through the submission and now share our concerns for our fellow former serving members of the ADF. Would you please indicate at your earliest as to when the President and yourself would be available to discuss this important issue further. As I have a full-time commitment to Monash U, I would need to specify at the outset that I personally would prefer if any future meeting with the President and yourself was in the forenoon of any weekday, mainly due to the supervisory constraints and obligations of my tenure.

Mr John Atkins, President of the HMAS Sydney & VLSV Assoc. would also like to be involved in any discussions regarding this and related matters.

Regards
Dr John R Carroll
