[Memorandum to Acting Deputy Director for Intramural Research, NIH from F. William Dommel, Jr.]

such a supposition. No paper resembling that which Mr. CREWDSON
showed to us has been found in the dossier of the patient.
There have been a total of three necroses, and not four, as
Mr. CREWDSON leads one to believe.
The list of the patients whose names begin with the letter A
does not correspond to the patients treated with immunotherapy (a
much smaller number). It could have--without certainty--come
from the laboratory of Prof. Zagury, where the patients having a
blood test in view of possible inclusion in the protocol are
indexed by alphabetical order (eight names begin with the letter
A on the list that has been communicated to us).
Mr. CREWDSON, to whom no medical information was given, will
continue his investigation in France; 'he proposes to search for
and meet all the families of the patients who received mw?
immunotherapy. While it is difficult to predict the exact words
of the article which will appear in the Chicago Tribune, one can
suppose that Mr. CREWDSON will continue to "indict" the French
physicians working with Prof. GALLO.
