Rep. Smith also offered an amendment which directs the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to investigate the possible involvement of the Department of Defense (DOD) biowarfare labs in the weaponization of Lyme disease in ticks and other insects from 1950-1975. The House passed the amendment On July 21, 2020.
