Re[2]: Professional Opinions Wanted

       Radsafers :
       
       
       I assure you that nothing you say is going
       to be used in any court of law.
       (It would only be hearsay, anyway)
       
       I specifically asked for personal replies
       in order to avoid anything being said in an
       open forum which might offend Dr. Harvey
       or his institution.
       
       I appreciate the responses that I have received so far
       and will prepare a summary for next week.

Radsafers:
     
In the interest of fair play, I would like to provide some additional 
information before you reply to Mr.Presley of the Canadian nuclear 
regulatory agency.
     
The regulatory agency has already taken action and has informed the 
radiopharmacist and his institution that prosecution is probable. The 
license of the institution has been suspended. Your opinions are sought to 
justify actions already taken. Your opinions may be used in court, and so 
if you also send me a copy, I will forward them to the institution 
concerned so that the entire reply is available to both parties. 
     
This does not seem an appropriate forum for a federal regulatory agency to 
attempt to justify its actions.
