Senator Questioning Contaminated Drinking Water at Marine Base

    RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A North Carolina senator is calling for a
congressional hearing about contaminated drinking water at a North
Carolina Marine Corps base.
    Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan said Tuesday that a new study of water
at Camp Lejeune downplays effects on health and doesn’t take into
account previous studies. The report released last week by the
National Research Council said there is evidence people at the base
were exposed to chemicals. But the report said there was no
definite link to birth defects, cancer and other ailments suffered
by people who lived and worked on base.
    Hagan says former Lejeune personnel and residents “need closure
on this issue.“ She is a member of the Senate Armed Services
Committee and says she wants the committee to hold a hearing.
