Weaponized Ticks, Part 2


The House version of the 2020 Defense Authorization Bill contains an amendment, introduced by Reps. Collin C. Peterson (D-MN) and Andy Harris (R-MD) which would require the Pentagon to reveal to Congress whether or not the U.S. military experimented with disease-carrying insects and whether such insects were released out into the public. The Senate version does not contain this amendment, and the House and Senate have yet to reconcile the two versions.. On July 18, we contacted our Members of Congress to ask them to make sure the amendment is in the final version of the bill. 

Action:

Contact your Senators and ask them to make sure the Peterson/Harris amendment is contained within the final version of the 2020 Defense Authorization Bill.
