VA's Agent Orange website... www.VA.gov/AgentOrange...
Here is the current Agent Orange presumptive list, November, 2008, if you don't want to wait for the download at the VA website.

The following health conditions are presumptively recognized for service connection for Vietnam veterans, based on exposure to herbicides and related materials during the Vietnam War.
