Exuisir E The AMERICAN COLLEGE Or RapIoLoeGy, THe Crry of New York, OFFICE OF RADIATION CONTROL, New York, N.Y., Aprit 8, 1962. Chicago, Til. (Attention: F. Brandt.) GENTLEMEN: AS ah associate fellow of the American College of Radiology I have received a copy of the postcard inquiry for data to be used at the hearings to be conducted by the Joint Congressional Committee on Atomic Energy in May 1962. First of all, I am not a radiologist nor a physician. Iam a radiological physicist. For the past 3 years I have been devoting my entire time to the various subjects covered in the questionnaire. I have made many speeches and talks and have been on a number of radio programs concerned with radiation safety and control. The activity in the New York City area has been great in this field. I believe that the program of the New York City Health Department with a personnel of about 35 and a budget close to $200,000 a year devoted exclusively to the control of radiation (of which about maybe 95 percent of the problem is in the medical and dental use of X-rays) has been quite effective over the past 3 years and I will estimate that we have been able to reduce radiation exposures in this area approximately 25 percent. We are now conducting 4 research project under the sponsorship of the Public Health Service in which We are accumulating statistical data on the degree of radiation exposure in medical radiography. In addition I have published about six papers in the past few years on the subject. opty odawbiptacatec Mant ae esata kee ORR ee ag + wet. iy cotbtle pearatteGatese
