WASHINGTON, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- A U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs official said no cost estimates were available regarding an impending decision regarding diseases tied to Agent Orange.

Veterans Affairs press secretary Katie Roberts said such estimates will be available after the federal department officially rules whether three diseases suffered by U.S. veterans of the Vietnam War are linked to Agent Orange, the Newport News (Va.) Daily Press said Sunday.

The ruling regarding Parkinson's disease, B cell leukemia and ischemic heart disease is expected from Veterans Affairs later this year.
