摘要：I WOULD like to echo a remark of Colonel Stone's about the ease and facility with which one can conduct medical research and with which one can disseminate the results obtained. In times of stress, everyone cooperates against a common enemy, but in times of peace it is not nearly so easy. We have to go to groups such as yours to have help and guidance and assistance in getting cooperation not only between the civilians and our own service personnel, but in the dissemination of our knowledge. It is easy to catalog and to maintain readily available reference files on known standard publications. Our research in the services is so new that it is constantly changing format, and individual reports as they come out do not seem to fit into an established pattern. Medical research in the Navy certainly is not older than 1941 or 1942 in any organized sense. It is growing and has lots of growing pains.
