gramming different people together on the same 
animal? Do you use, do you depend heavily on 
computer aids at all ? 
Dr. Goldsmith : We have no computer. We 
have no access to a computer. In reference to 
the last slide I showed, vs^ith the utilization of 
that pregnancy preparation, the computer in 
that case v^^as Wendell Niemann's brain. Dr. Nei- 
mann is a veterinarian who has been with us for 
some four years now. He came from NIH and is 
in charge of the reproductive, perinatal, growth 
and development programs at the laboratory. 
He coordinates a large part of this kind of dis- 
tribution of materials. The various other mem- 
bers of the staff also participate, and a good 
part of their activities is involved in sending 
biological materials all over the world. 
As far as the cooperative invasive use of ani- 
mals, this can be done too. For example, when 
Cesarean sections are performed in the repro- 
duction programs, our surgeons, who are inter- 
ested in biliary tract disease, are right on the 
spot to get their bile specimens by aspiration of 
the gall bladder. So there is an investment on 
the part of the investigators, too, to come to the 
laboratory and to participate in some of these 
shared experiments. I don't know that we would 
do better if we put this on a computer, but I 
don't know enough about computers to be able 
to say. I do know that the essential point here 
has been the voluntary and eager cooperation 
by our staff members and participating scien- 
tists.
