Ted, this isn't the only case where we have shot ourselves in the 
foot. If you recall the rhetoric regarding the doses received from 
the military presence in the desert during the 50's nuclear testing 
was also classified as "low exposure", during the calls for 
investigation of cancers and other illnesses affecting those 
personnel. One could hardly call the doses received by these 
individuals as "low dose" ... If they were, it would give a whole new 
meaning to BRC!!!
