Hartke Accuses Pentagon of Allowing Poison Gas Rail Shipments

Sen Vance Hartke D Ind accuses the Pentagon of enabling another phosgene rail shipment from the Rocky Mountain Arsenal to New Jersey with unknown destination. He cites testimony that the gas may be dumped in the Atlantic and notes the Pentagon lacks an inventory while Army holds remaining stock awaiting disposal. The Army unloads 170 obsolete war gas cars in Colorado and reports $330 million in current year spend on chemical and biological warfare agents amid safety protests and calls for rail standards.
