Congress makes the following findings: (1) From to, approximately 1,000,000 gallons of different herbicides, including 1,000,000 gallons of Agent Orange, were sprayed over the southern region of Vietnam.

() Today, there are still dozens of environmental hot spots in Vietnam which contaminate the food, soil, sediment, and wildlife and continue to expose the people of Vietnam to dioxin.
