Muller:
I have a question now about the thyroid disorders and I recall
seeing in some medical publication a figure that indicated that out of a
population of 30,000 you would expect to find 2 thyroid conditioner I don’t
know if this means cancerous or whatever.
This being the normal incidence
of thyroid among a population of 30,000, given 30,000 people.
Well, the
30,000 would certainly approximate the population of the Marshalls and yet
we have had 500 such incidence.
So what kind of explanation do you have
for that?

have the information here, I think I can help.
Do you want to come back to that?
Yeh.
Dr. Bair thinks that he may have some information that he can look at
right now.
Let me suggest that we hold that question.
