Hatch said the amendment authorizes up to $4 million to establish a center for research on the health effects of nuclear energy and other new energy techat the University of nologies Utah in Salt Lake City. The federal money must be matched with at least another $4 million from other sources. Another $6 million is authorized for cancer screening and research in St. George, Utah, a city in the primary fallout path from nuclear weapons atmospheric tests conducted at the Nevada test site before 1962. "This is just one more step in the quest for justice, Hatch The clinic in St. George said. can provide screeing to catch any newly developing diseases in the earliest, most treatable staIt will give those whose ges. illnesses are already known access to experts who can direct them to the best treatment available, if they are not already getting that treatment. "Research information from the clinic in St. George will provide scientists with a continuous flow of vital information that should help us unravel the remaining mysteries of who was injured by fallout from the governments weapons research, how seriously they were harmed, and what might be done about it, Hatch said. "Compensation for victims of the fallout is not resolved by this amendment. But those who may have been harmed will have help available, to make sure that wl injury was done can be kept to a minimum, he said. er Omission In reporting the birth of Brenda and Jeff Johnsons second daughter in the October 4th issue of the COUNTY the maternal NEWS, grandfather, Ken White, and ma- ternal Clar- ence and Libby Wilcox, were om -itted.
