[[Page 31866]]

National Center for Environmental Health (NCEH). The purpose of this 
proposed study is to collect additional data to validate health 
outcomes reported by participants in the Health Assessment of Persian 
Gulf War Veterans From Iowa. The original data collection consisted of 
a telephone survey of 3,695 military personnel who served during the 
time of the Persian Gulf War and listed Iowa as their home of 
residence. Data will be collected from subjects who participated in the 
telephone survey to validate the self-report of asthma. Lung function 
assessment, tests of airways hyperactivity, and standard respiratory 
health questionnaires will be administered. Review of medical records, 
standard physical examination, and laboratory evaluation will be 
conducted to validate multi systemic conditions, including chronic 
fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. The total annual burden hours are 
1,394.
