Fw: BEIR VII study extension

["Ted Rockwell" <tedrock@cpcug.org>]

I guess they want to put off the problem for another 2 years.  Even Wing
agrees they shouldn't base their conclusions on the bomb victims, while
ignoring all the valid info that we've sent them, about real people getting
chronic doses occupationally, or medically, or living in hi-rad parts of the
world--in addition to all the new biological data.
