Radiation standards discussion

Yes, I think this is imperative; and BAS is the
logical vehicle.

I will be glad to contribute. It's time I gakxx
clarified my position. You may see from the
enclosed why I've been getting it from both
sides.

You. might help me by suggesting what part of ¢he
background of these drafts will be covered by
others. I would prefer it if I could count on
having the radiobiological context already laid
out, so that I could concentrate on the policy
confrontations--

cost-benefit analysis

justofication for an economic appreech

significance of population vs. indovidual

standards and risks.
cost of ignorance

The enclosures may enlarge our dialogue; I hope
to do much better in the final piece-- these are
all rather fragmentary in their outlook.

 

KAKKKEKE my thanks for picking up the SALT
article. I understand the Post's
problem; but it did generate a big
one for me.
