provide “a program of medical care and treatment... for any injury,
illness or condition which may be the result directly or indirectly
of such nuclear weapons testing program."

In other words, the Loma

Linda Proposal does not present an integrated preventive medical
program for radiation related health effects-and diseases.
Cancer of the breast, lung and thyroid, and of lymphatic tissues,
as well as leukemia are well known adverse health effects of ionizing
radiation.

Other adverse health effects include genetic or muta-

tional outcome, and reproductive effects.

Also, radiation is be-

lieved to have a causal relationship in the production of other major
human health problems, namely heart disease and possibly, aging.
Tables 4 and 5 in the Loma Linda Proposal display data which are
strongly suggestive that such radiation related adverse health effects
