§ Mr. Geoffrey FinsbergIt is customary for medical researchers to publish the results of their work in medical and scientific journals. The results of all research known to Government into the neuropsychological effects of lead either has been published or, I anticipate, will be published in this way. This research relates to the effects of lead accumulated in the body from all sources.
