the ,women's ,armed ,services ,integration ,act of #aidh1 which formally authorized the appointment and enlistment of women in the regular components of the ,armed ,forces4 7#b7 ,with the expansion of the ,armed ,forces to include women1 the possibility arose for the first time that members of the regular components of the ,armed ,forces could become pregnant4 7#c7 ,the response to such possibilities and actualities was ,executive ,order #ajbdj1 signed by ,president ,harry ,s4 ,truman in #aiea1 which granted the ,armed ,forces the authority to involuntarily separate or discharge a woman if she became pregnant1 gave birth to a child1 or became a parent by adoption or a stepparent4 7#d7 ,the ,armed ,forces responded to the ,executive order by systematically discharging any woman in the ,armed ,forces who became pregnant1 regardless of whether the pregnancy was planned1 unplanned1 or the result of sexual abuse4 7#e7 ,although the ,armed ,forces were required to offer women who were involuntarily separated or discharged due to pregnancy the opportunity to request retention in the military1 many such women were not offered such opportunity4 7#f7 ,the ,armed ,forces did not

were involuntarily separated or discharged from the ,armed ,forces as a result of pregnancy4 7#h7 ,there are reports that the practice of the ,armed ,forces to systematically separate or discharge

died by suicide following their involuntary separation or discharge from the ,armed ,forces4 7#i7 ,such involuntary separation or discharge from the ,armed ,forces on the basis of pregnancy was challenged in ,federal district court by ,stephanie ,crawford in #aige1 whose legal argument stated that this practice violated her constitutional right to due process of law4 7#aj7 ,the ,court of ,appeals for the ,second ,circuit ruled in ,stephanie ,crawford's favor in #aigf and found that ,executive ,order #ajbdj and any regulations relating to the ,armed ,forces that made separation or discharge mandatory due to pregnancy were unconstitutional4 7#aa7 ,by #aigf1 all regulations that permitted involuntary separation or discharge of a member of the ,armed ,forces because of pregnancy or any form of parenthood were rescinded4 7#ab7 ,today1 women comprise #ag percent of the ,armed ,forces1 and many are parents1 including #ab percent of whom are single parents4 7#ac7 ,while military

endure unnecessary and discriminatory actions1 including the violation of their constitutional right to due process of law1 simply because they became pregnant or became a parent while a member of the

incidents at diplomatic missions across the world and in the ,united ,states1 which are sometimes referred to as ,havana ,syndrome4 7#b7 ,some of the anomalous health incidents have resulted in unexplained brain injuries1 which have had permanent1 life-altering effects that have disrupted lives and ended careers4 7#c7 ,a panel of experts convened by the ,bureau of ,medical ,services of the ,department of ,state in ,july #bjag to review triage assessments of medically evaluated personnel from the ,united ,states ,embassy in ,havana came to a consensus that the findings were most likely related to neurotrauma from a nonnatural source4 7#d7 ,a #bjbj report by the ,national ,academy of ,sciences found that many of the distinctive and acute signs1 symptoms1 and observations reported by affected employees are consistent with the effects of directed1 pulsed radio frequency 7,,rf7 energy and that directed pulsed ,,rf energy 444 appears to be the most plausible mechanism in explaining these cases4 7#e7 ,according to the ,national ,academy of ,sciences report1 such a scenario raises grave concerns about a world with disinhibited malevolent actors and new tools for causing harm to others4 7#f7 ,the number and locations of these suspected attacks have expanded and1 according to press reporting1 there have been more than #acj possible cases that have been reported by ,united

and determinations to treat personnel1 dependents1 and other appropriate individuals experiencing symptoms consistent with such injuries should be made by experienced medical professionals and made available by the ,federal ,government2 7#d7 any recriminations1 retaliation1 or punishment associated with personnel self-reporting symptoms is unacceptable and should be investigated by internal agency oversight mechanisms2 7#e7 information sharing and interagency coordination is essential for the comprehensive investigation1 attribution1 and mitigation of these injuries2 7#f7 the ,administration should provide ,congress and the public with timely and regular unclassified updates on the threat posed to ,united ,states ,government personnel by the suspected causes of these injuries2 7#g7 recent efforts by the ,administration and among relevant agencies represent positive steps toward responding to the threat of anomalous health incidents1 but more comprehensive measures must be taken to further assist victims1 investigate and determine the cause of the injuries of such victims1 and prevent future incidents2 7#h7 establishing the source and cause of these anomalous health incidents must be a top priority for the ,united ,states ,government and requires the full coordination of relevant agencies2 7#i7 if investigations determine that the anomalous health incidents are the result of deliberate acts by individuals1 entities1 or foreign countries1 the ,united ,states ,government should recognize and respond to these incidents as hostile attacks2 and 7#aj7 any actors found to have been targeting ,united ,states ,government personnel should be publicly identified1 as appropriate1 and held accountable4 7c7 ,statement of policy ,it is the policy of
