Thus the Committee supports the theory that all radiation exposure above ee and that the effect--until disproven--is Tasane levels is harmful roughly proportional to the dose. As for hereditary damage, the Committee notes with considerable interest and dismay that it is a proven fact that all penetrating radiation delivered to the “sex” cells, or gonads, is definitely harmful both in the short and long run. The Special Joint Committee thus finds itself also in complete accord with the intent and purposes of House Joint Resolution No. 105, H.D. 1, passed during the Second Special Session of the Fourth Congress which condemns the Republic of France for testing H=-bomb devices in the South Pacific. It is clear to the Committee after its studies that the testing of nuclear weapons--whether in space, the atmosphere, in and on the sea, or underground-has no beneficial use for mankind. The intent of such testing is infamous in the first place, and the testing itself is detrimental to all mankind in the long run. No nation on the earth as the right--in the name of selfish national pride and self-interest--to endanger the lives of innocent generations of children all over the world, | |( S 42 en ot Oearate A , , ? pmsss: > me ho Pe pepe Sie 3ri nN 5. pee a i
