U.S. veterans groups have compiled lists of areas where they believe the U.S. and allied military forces used chemical herbicides and defoliants. Some of the information has come from the U.S. Department of Defence and some of it from the veterans own research. Areas confirmed by the U.S. Department of Defence, in which defoliants were used (in addition to Vietnam): The Korean demilitarized zone in 1968 and 1969 (extensive spraying). Fort Drum, N.Y. in 1959 (testing). Areas U.S. veterans say were sprayed: 1. Guam from 1955 through 1960s (spraying). 2. Johnston Atoll (1970s was used for AO storage). 3. Panama Canal Zone from 1960s to early 1970s (spraying). 4. Elgin AFB (Agents Orange and Blue) on firing range and simulated Viet Cong Village. 5. Wright-Patterson AFB (Ohio) and Kelly AFB (Texas). In May 2003, a Democratic congressman, Lane Evans, asked U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to investigate possible spraying in: Aberdeen Proving Ground, Aberdeen, Md. Apalachicola National
