McCone s and Eisenhower s attempts to repair the sullied reputation of the AEC were quickly undercut by a new report, coming from within the administration, that questioned the agenqr s role in protecting public health. On 26 March 1959, the day after the president s statement, the surgeon general of the United States, Dr. LeRoy E. Burney, issued the results of a review of radiation problems conducted by his agency, the U.S. Public Health Service, a division of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. The report, submitted by the National Advisory Committee on Radiation, which Burney had established a year earlier, urged that "ultimate authority" for radiation protection be vested in the Public Health Service. Burney had formed file advisory committee to... 

In the United States and other developed countries, illicit opium derivatives such as heroin or licit synthetic opioids such as Vicodin have generally replaced the use of smoked or eaten opium. According to Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) data provided by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), there were more than 82,000 emergency department admissions for narcotic analgesics/narcotic analgesic combinations in 2000. Only 167 of these visits were for opium and opium combinations.

Both data bases represent samples of fish collected from landings and markets in various parts of the United States but do not identify the locations at which samples were obtained or sold. The NMFS data were collected more systematically, represent more species, and generally contain considerably more samples for each species than the FDA data. However, the FDA data are about 20 years more recent than the NMFS data. Analysis of species represented in both data bases by at least three samples (n=15) indicates that, in almost all cases, the Hg concentration...
