How would this situation affect a company such as General Electric, or others, with divisions in many tates ¢ Mr. Parser. I think this affects part of such companies with which T have the least acquaintance. For example, one is manufacturing radiation emitting devices, and these are to be used against different codes. One has a problem of some magnitude conceivably with the writing of certain codes which could be insuperable. This is what one has in mind in part in this industrial problem. I don’t profess to be directly concerned or acquainted with this aspect. Representative Prics. Are there any further questions? If not, thank you very much. You madea fine statement and contributed a great deal to the committee’s knowledge on the subject. There is a quorum call in the House. I think we will take a recess for about 10 minutes, (The subcommittee took a short recess. ) Representative Price. The committee will be in order. The next witness will be Dr. Robert Hasterlik, of the Argonne Cancer Hospital, University of Chicago. Shes gry, ESSENSE HE TTS Be RSG60 ARRSIONapessto Stee Sea lige epbtp worl wee .
