Chairman Houirmip. Would it be fair to say that it is the con-
sensus of opinion arrived at by compromise between possible ranges
of viewpoints?
Dr. DunHam. Not this last session. There may have been some
discussion, and Dr. Tompkins was there much more of the time than
I was, about just how much fallout occurred and where. But in
terms of biological effects there was perhaps more agreement between
the scientists than there was at the first go-around, the report. that.
came out in 1958.

Chairman Hoirtevp. I would suppose these are the advanced nations that have physicists and geneticists ?
Dr. Dunuam. They are representative nations. They are Australia,
Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Mexico, Argentina,
Brazil, United Arab Republic, India, Czechoslovakia, USSR.
Belgium, France,Sweden. I may haveleft somethingout.
Chairman Houtrretp. And the United States.
Dr. Dunnam. Including the United States. Each country has
sent very clearly its most competent and outstanding people in the
eld.
Chairman Horirrerp. It is your professional opinion, then, that
conclusions reached by this group would be scientifically credible
andof scientific respect throughout the world ?
Dr. Dunuyam. I feel so. It is a group of considerable stature.
They spent a tremendous amount of time developing information and
going over the available data and I think when their report comes
out one can have full confidencein it.
