Dr Morrison explains why University of Illinois researchers tested 13 girls and 12 boys under 36 hours old with I-131. Uptake reached 70 percent in 25 hours for injected doses and about 45 to 50 percent for oral doses, raising long term exposure concerns while noting ethical consent and historical context.
Exposed cancer patients, mainly low income Black individuals, faced radiation therapy deemed unsafe at the time. Eugene Saenger led the studies, with 25 deaths and findings suggesting possible links to mortality in eight cases. The UC Junior Faculty Association urged disclosure in 1972 as lawsuits against the DOE unfold.
The U S Department of Energy operates a hot line for people who think they were subjects in federally funded radiation tests. The line runs 7 30 a m to 3 30 p m CST Monday through Friday and number is 1 800 493 2998. The Cincinnati experiments and Saenger studies raise questions about consent and secrecy in Cold War radiation testing.
The White House will begin handing over documents to the Justice Department on today about the first family half ownership in an Arkansas real estate venture. Materials include items removed from Vincent Foster’s office after his July death.
The 1993 legislative session closing sees a draft to exempt machinery and equipment taxes faced with strong local opposition. Cedar Rapids groups warn a full M&E tax repeal would slash city revenues by 3.5 million and school funding by 2.9 million yearly. Supporters argue phased repeal may win votes while educators seek alternate funding.

Jim Riordan as co-chairs of the Small Business Economic Development and Trade Committee, plus Sen. Tony Bisignano and Rep.
