3 Since preparing this talk it has come to my attention that the America Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) held a Scientific Dispute Resolution Conference to produce a consensus report on 2,4,5-T. The objective was to test a mechanism by which differences among scientists could be resolved. Fifty-six scientists from around the world representing medicine, toxicology, chemistry, ecology, and agriculture participated. A report on the meeting is available from AFBF, 225 Touhy Ave., Park Ridge, Illinois 60068.Google Scholar
