RE: Gofman letter

["Marthaller, Chris" <ChrisM@wipp.carlsbad.nm.us>]

What about the personnel who have received alpha uptakes with no
observed adverse effects as of yet?  Including the "pioneers" in the
Manhattan Project.  I would believe someone in Gofman's position would
do further research prior to making these statements.
