I am informed by the Mass Radiography Board that, except for the purposes of maintenance and repair, no mobile mass X-ray units were taken out of service during the past 12 months; one unit which had been extensively damaged by fire was out of commission from January, 1969, but returned to service in November, 1969.
I am also informed that there was no redundancy among the staff of the board during the past 12 months.
