12. Of the seven cases of hypothyroidism reported in period Jan. - Dec. 1979, give date of birth of each case.

13 Has Dr. Bouden resolved whether possible link between the defects and 'H4I-2 accident should be investigated?

a. If so, why?
b. If not, why not?
14. Has Dr. Bouden determined whether links to any other environmental cause should be investigated?
a. If so, what environmental effects?
b. If not, why not?

15 Has Dr. Bouden established any basis for rejection of all environmental link to the defects? Explain.

16. Interrog. 4 restated as it was misunderstood. Iancaster data was compared to national data, which established a base line.
