HAIL TO THE HOLIDAY Even Presidents Need a Few Days BY PETER EISLER and STEVE STERNBERG WUnsettling news for Gulf War soldiers A-4 USA TODAY WASHINGTON — Forty years after the government's atomic-bomb tests spewedradiation into the Nevadaskies, a new federalstudy will pinpoint communities as far away as New York where people were exposed to potentially dangerous fallout. The still-unreleased study, the most far-reachingofits kind, shows county-bycounty exposure to iodine 131, the pre- dominantradioactive isotope that rained down on Americain the 1950s. Researchers say they don’t know for sure how muchofa health risk the exposure to iodine 131 posed, and this study does not address that. However, no study in the United States — including claims made by people who lived near thetest site — ever has demonstrated a conclusive link between iodine 131 and cancer. The study, by the National Cancer In- people in the mostaffected counties absorbed as much iodine 131 as the so until late September. On Thursday, NCI officials would not name the approximately two-dozen counties where residents had the most exposure to iodine 131. called “downwinders’’ — the peoplein Utah, Nevada and Arizona who lived im- stitute, is not scheduled to be released mediately adjacent to the Nevada Test Site and have blamedthe atomic tests for cancers, birth defects and mental retardation.

It was summer, and each wasblessedly away from the workof the nation’s capi- tal. The difference is where they stood and the business at hand. Washington was on the wide porch at Mount Vernon, looking off toward the Potomac River, starting his day on his 8,000-acre Virginia farm. Clinton stoodata tee at the Farm Neck golf course on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard,holdinga golfclub.
