STATEMENT BY MARTHA STEPHENS In organizing these papers on the radiation experiments at UC, I have assumed that those interested in the subject will be acquainted with my book The Treatment: The Story of Those Who Died in the Cincinnati Radiation Tests (Duke University Press, 2002). Not everything in these papers will be self- explanatory outside the context of the book, but some documents can certainly be read or understood on their own—the hearing transcripts, for instance, the newspaper clippings, most of the legal briefs, the publications of the researchers, and their reports over the years to the Defense Department. A list of books related to this subject appears in the appendices of The Treatment. Major entries include Human Guinea Pigs by M.H. Pappworth, MD; Bad Blood (on the Tuskegee syphilis experiments) by James Jones; The Nazi Doctors and the Nuremberg Code, edited by George Annas and Michael Grodin; the issue on Nuremberg of The Journal of the American Medical Association, November 27, 1996 (volume 276, number 20); and The Files (on the full range of US deliberate exposures during the Cold War) by Eileen Welsome. No complete set of the papers released by the UC College of Medicine in 1994 is available in this collection, thought many papers from those materials are attached to the folder here of one kind or another. A full set of these somewhat jumbled but important releases, taken from the back files of the College, may continue to be available in the medical archives on East Campus.

Certain files concerning the individual researchers, as well as papers concerning myself and the Junior Faculty Association, are separately available within the Archives and Rare Books Library. It might be pointed out that where I generally refer to the events from 1960-1972 as “the UC radiation experiments” (or “tests”), the researchers and their colleagues often use the term “study”—“the whole- body study,” i.e.

Readers of these papers will find a certain number of large-print pages. I have had low vision most of my life and often make use of the enlargements; in most cases the originals I enlarged were still in my files and have been provided in place of enlargements.

Most papers here will have a date attached, but not all. Where possible, I’ve attempted to order the pages within folders by their dates or approximate dates. I also attempted to discard duplicate pages, but some duplicates will no doubt appear.

When The Treatment appeared in 2002, a whole set of new papers, reviews, correspondences, and so on, were of course generated. I have provided here only a small sample of these materials, but I may in time make an additional gift of documents surrounding this publication. —Martha Stephens, June 2005
