The Atomic Energy Commission will sponsor courses, open to all nations, in atomic preventive medicine, disposal of atomic wastes, the use of radioisotopes as tracers. Brookhaven, Argonne and Oak Ridge will open to foreign scientists one-to two-year courses in the use of atomic energy in medicine and biology; 150 foreign specialists will visit U.S. cancer research centers. For cooperating nations, the U.S. has built up ten complete libraries of nonclassified atomic publications totaling 300 feet...
