House passes amendment ordering Pentagon to review whether U.S. experimented with weaponizing ticks
Amendment offered by New Jersey Republican Rep. Chris Smith to order the Pentagon inspector general to conduct a review about whether the military experimented with making ticks into biological weapons. The amendment, passed by the House last week by a voice vote, would require the Pentagon inspector general to examine “whether the Department of Defense experimented with ticks and other insects regarding its use as a biological weapon between the years of 1950 and 1975.”
