				MEMORANDUM


TO:	Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments

FROM:	Advisory Committee Staff

DATE:	January 10, 1995

RE:	Responses to December Assignments in Tab F


	This Tab contains staff responses to several Advisory Committee
requests at the December meeting.

	F-1:	The nature and force of Atomic Energy Commission
		policies concerning the use of human subjects in
		AEC-sponsored experiments during the period
		1947-1956.

	F-2:	Whether Department of Defense policies applied in
		instances where research met both governmental and
		traditional medical research purposes (the issue
		of multiple purposes).

	F-3:	Whether standards found at the AEC and/or DOD 
		should be deemed to have applied to other
		government agencies (the "one government"
		question).

	F-4:	In the absence of any known policies at the Veteran
		Administration, what can be inferred about their
		standards from other contomporary documents?

	The new supporting documents referred to in these memoranda
are attached.  They, along with their cover sheets, are to be
inserted into the Ethics Documentation Binders that were given to 
you in December.  If you plan to refer to any of these documents
during the discussion at the upcoming meeting, you may wish to bring
them with you to the meeting.
