President's page.
The issue that is foremost in my mind as I write this communique is the effort of the ASRT to promote federal legislation that will mandate radiation protection for the consumer-patient. The ASRT has spent many thousands of dollars and many thousands of hours to promote this legislation. Every year, because of the support and dedication of interested technologists, we come a step closer to the reality of this legislation becoming law. I had the opportunity on September 5, 1980 to appear before the Subcommittee of Health and the Environment of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce to give testimony in support of HR 6057, "Consumer-Patient Radiation Health and Safety Act of 1979." Because I believe that it is important for ALL of our members to be aware of our legislative efforts, I am enclosing my testimony that was submitted to this Committee.
