Three contractors have undertaken the project by determination of the physi cal properties of the tissues of the head. This unique research, combining the Sophisticated techniques of biology and engineering will continue for several years, culminating in the development, construction, and experimental loading of physical and mathematical models. This program is under continual review of an expert committee. The selection, location and contact of a large population of veterans who sustained head injuries in the Korean campaign has been completed. A matched control population has also been selected. This project has been accomplished in collaboration with the National Research Council Follow-up Agency and appropriate agencies of the Department of Defense. Concise work ups of medical information on these veterans has been completed. From this information, the American National Red Cross, Service to Military Families, is conducting a field contact study.
