RE: Licensing of C-14

["Pickett, Bruce D" <Bruce.Pickett@PSS.Boeing.com>]

Barbara,

This is anecdotal and heresay, but when I first inquired of the
manufacturer several years ago why their products with less than exempt
quantities were distributed under a general license, they replied
"because the state of California required it". That's what prompted the
statement in my previous note. However, the focus of that note wasn't in
regards to the general license, but rather the requirement for a
SPECIFIC license for 50 microcuries of C-14 for subsequent transfers.
