...Puerto Rico. My acceptance of an additional plebiscite now is based on the following fact: the constant debate on status, which is unreal to most Puerto Ricans but which may seem real to persons outside of Puerto Rico, is approaching a point where it is beginning to do harm to our economic development program.

While Sr-89 does not remain active long enough to harm an adult, it may be a threat to children (a Canadian boy has been found with three times as much Sr-89as Sr-90 in his bones). A pregnant woman may get Sr-89 in milk or other fresh foods, so the danger is greatest to the unborn, said...
