Dumping of Nerve Gas Debated
A House subcommittee opened a probe into Army plans to dump over 3000 tons of obsolete nerve gas rockets into the Atlantic about 280 miles off Cape Kennedy Florida. Rep Alton Lennon and Rep Paul Rogers led the hearings seeking why disposal in laboratories cannot be used and what would happen if gas leaked on the ocean floor. Army and State Interior and HEW officials were summoned. Some lawmakers criticized moving the gas from Anniston Alabama and Lexington Kentucky to Sunny Point Arsenal near Southport.
