During the discussion of the program, Dr. Burnett erpressed concern
at the setting off of cancer research in the iy thu: it has been
done in the lasw few years.

He ssid that "if She amount of money

that has been spent on cancer research, if it +.uld have been directed,
some of it at least towards basic medical and ological research,

we might be much further along than we are.

‘ft seoms to me that

every year it get bipzer instead of smaller, which raises the second
question."
Dr. Burnett accressing Dr, Dunham asked - "Do you anticipate that this
is about where you will level off, or do you ariicipate increasing

specifically in the cancer field?"
Dr. Dunham replied that it will increase somewhat at Brookhaven as
the new facility become available ~ Argonne Cancer Research Hospital

is pretty near its peak, however, they still wish to build a "hot
lab" in the besement next year and that will increase their operating
cost.

ORING has about leveled off.

University of California will not

be any greater and at Argonne National Laboratory there will not be any
change.
