Description/Abstract:
LANGHAM REQUESTS HASTERLIK'S HELP IN OBTAINING ADDITIONAL URINE SAMPLES AND POSSIBLE TISSUE SAMPLES FROM ONE OF THE PLUTONIUM SUBJECTS SINCE ADDITIONAL SAMPLES ARE NEEDED OVER A LONGER TIME PERIOD TO VALIDATE MATHEMATICAL POWER FUNCTION DESCRIBING THE EXCRETION OF PLUTONIUM. LANGHAM POINTS OUT THE DESIRABILITY OF OBTAINING AUTOPSY SAMPLES FROM THIS PATIENT TO OBTAIN VALUABLE INFORMATION REGARDING THE DISTRIBUTION OF PLUTONIUM. LANGHAM POINTS OUT THAT PRESENT BLINDNESS OF THIS PLUTONIUM INJECTION SUBJECT HAS NO RELATION TO THE PLUTONIUM INJECTION BECAUSE THE ATTENDING PHYSICIAN OF THE PATIENT NOTED THE PRESENCE OF CATARACTS IN THE PATIENT BEFORE THE PLUTONIUM INJECTION TOOK PLACE.
