1. To satisfy the need for scientific information obtainable from the experience of the A-bomb survivors, a formal research program should be continued for another 20 years. 2. The genetics program (F1 cytogenetics and F1 mortality) should be augmented to include the proposed study of mutations at the protein level. 3. The somatic effects of major interest are various forms of cancer, but a mortality follow-up should be continued indefinitely to guard against missing other possible major effects, and more serious attention should be given to studies of immune competence. 4. The main tools for continuing cancer research will be the death certificate, the autopsy, and the tumor registry. 5. To be scientifically most effective, and more useful to the subjects themselves, clinical surveillance should be performed in association with the hospitals and clinics of the community responsible for medical care and health maintenance. 6. A program of clinical surveillance, in combination with studies of mortality and cancer, and supplemented by a strong autopsy program, would provide a strong base for studies in the natural history of disease and for the continuing investigation of changes in the spectrum of disease in Japan and of the factors associated with it. 7. Serious consideration should be given to the organization of an information system on the health of all A-bomb survivors, at least at the level of hospitalized illness.
