Problems with the contract at UCLA were then discussed. A principal difficulty with respect to the ecology program appears to be the recruiting of a suitable ecologist. The possibility of phasing out ecology at UCLA and building it up at the Nevada Test Site under Mr. Jerry Davis was discussed. Dr. Goldstein described the status of the nuclear medicine program and the cyclotron at UCLA, Dr. Totter then reported briefly on the 36 program. The Los Alamos Laboratory is actively producing C. The demand may be very much larger than anticipated because other agencies want the C to use as a tracer for materials in the environment. The Los Alamos Laboratory is proposing to go to some additional bigger columns to increase their output. 15 Dr. Stout asked that the Los Alamos Laboratory be encouraged to make N if they could do it at a lower price than the current one. Dr. Totter felt that there were problems with patent rights on the process and that Logs Alamos probably could not get into the production process. Dr. Totter then gave a history of the biomedical program at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore and traced the difficulties with Gofman and Tamplin. Dr. Totter announced that he has proceeded with the necessary paper work to appoint Dr. Burr as Deputy Director of DBM. The Advisory Committee gave its enthusiastic approval. Dr. Perry Stout was unanimously elected Vice Chairman of the ACBM, At that point the meeting adjourned. Respectfully submitted, ohn B.
