Hale urges action on radiation act for Navajo miners
Navajo Nation President Albert Hale asks President Clinton to adjust the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act RECA of 1990 to include uranium mill workers and independent miners. He cites bureaucratic barriers and the Advisory Committee finding Navajo miners used as guinea pigs and notes many claimants are elderly widows and older miners facing stringent eligibility thresholds. He calls for consultation to prevent the program from stalling and for compassionate payments to victims.
