	Paul,

	I'm sure you are very well aware of this, but for the benefit of
our other RADSAFE friends,  Newell Stennard's book "Radioactivity and
Health, A History" contains a very detailed discussion of these and
other studies regarding uranium.  I would certainly recommend it for
those interested in this topic.

	Is it a reference in the RAND report?
