In general, it's fairly obvious

when a resl conflict of interest arises, it
is pretty evident that the intent of the law
is to deal with resl oonflicts,not with ine
aginary ones or with ones that maybe unduly
twisted to appear to be conflicts,
There always remains some slicht

elenent of risk as to the legal Judgment for
the existence of a confiict on the whole, but
I think that 4s a emall rick and need not be
appreciable anyhow and I don't cea why con»

cultants should not accent sich a minute rick,

We do accent riskea in various other
kinds, and without worrying about them, The
proposel here in the lest three parscraphs, I
would eny, would be adeaunte to dischorge any

moral reeponsibility on the part of the Core

miesion,

MRe ECRMAN:
Along thet line,
Doctor Bucher, I think everyone should keep
in mind that this conflict of interest
statutes have been very, strictly constived

over a period of years,
There have not
been any prosecutions; in the cease where
4t was, it was usually a flecreant violation
where elmost any emount of discussion vould
have avoided it.
