REVIEW OF DOCUMENT

SYMBOL:  AECV-4

Returned herewith is document entitled "Biochemical Studies
Relating to the Effects of Radiation and Metals" by Samuel
Schwartz.

We have reviewed this document from a non-technical insurance
claims point of view and although it is conceivable that the
contents thereof might arouse some claim consciousness on the part
of former employees we are unable to predict that the Commission's
interests would be unjustifiably prejudiced by its publication.

However, in the event latent disabilities due to the exposures
reported in this document should result in publicity similar to
that which arose out of the "radium dial" industry, the public
relations section would be involved.


Since we have been conferring with Dr. Holland regarding certain
claims similar in nature to some of the exposures reported in this
document we suggest that he might be interested in reviewing it if
you have no reason to the contrary.
