Abstract
An article in the 18 August issue of Science stated that, in his 1960 congressional testimony relating to the use of diethylstilbestrol, Thomas P. Carney, the then vice president for research at Eli Lilly, ignored the fact that human cancers may have a long latency period. This is incorrect, in that Carney's testimony cited a history of the use of DES extending over more than 20 years. The same article stated that the chairman of the Food Protection Committee of the National Academy of Sciences is William J. Darby. Dr. Darby resigned as chairman in July 1971. The present chairman is Lloyd J. Filer of the University of Iowa College of Medicine. These errors are regretted.
