The issue that is foremost in my mind as I write this communique is the effort of the ASRT to promote federal legislation that will mandate radiation protection for the consumer-patient. The ASRT has spent many thousands of dollars and many thousands of hours to promote this legislation. Every year, because of the support and dedication of interested technologists, we come a step closer to the reality of this legislation becoming law. I had the opportunity on September 5, 1980 to appear before the Subcommittee of Health and the Environment of the House Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce to give testimony in support of HR 6057, "Consumer-Patient Radiation Health and Safety Act of 1979." Because I believe that it is important for ALL of our members to be aware of our legislative efforts, I am enclosing my testimony that was submitted to this Committee.
在撰写本公报时,我脑海中首要考虑的问题是美国放射技师协会(ASRT)为推动联邦立法所做的努力,该立法将强制为消费者患者提供辐射防护。美国放射技师协会已经花费了数千美元和数千小时来推动这项立法。每年,由于感兴趣的技术人员的支持和奉献,我们距离这项立法成为法律的现实又近了一步。1980年9月5日,我有机会在众议院州际和对外贸易委员会健康与环境小组委员会面前作证,支持HR 6057号法案,即“1979年消费者患者辐射健康与安全法案”。因为我认为让我们所有成员了解我们的立法工作很重要,所以随信附上我提交给该委员会的证词。
