After a full discussion, the Committee uanimously
recommended that the following endorsement of the Foreign
Distribution of Radioactive Isotopes program should be forwarded to the Chairman for information,
"The Advisory Committee for Biology and Medicine has
reviewed from the standpoint of biology and medicine the
United Strtes program for the forcign cistribution of radio-
isotopes. It is our understanding that more than 90% of the
shipments thus far sent abroad have been for uses in medical
therapy and in scientific research in biology and medicine,
