Operation Crossroads Study Press release

[VERNIG.PETER@FORUM.VA.GOV]

Greetings,
Seems like somebody may have posted something regarding this.  Anyway
I have a copy of a press release from Institute of Medicine [IOM]
concerning a study funded by Dept of Veterans Affairs and Defence 
Special Weapons Agency [formerly Defense Nuclear Agency].
 
Brief Summary:  Veterans, mostly Navy participants were found to have a
4.6% higher than control death rate.  But it was judged not due to radia-
tion as cancer and leukemia deaths were not statistically higher than 
control group.  Control group was veterans assigned to similar units
but not participating in crossroads.
