He contacted the subcontractor who is holding hearings about the review of the literature on mercury fillings, requesting that the latter correct a process that had no scientists speaking and where all three invited speakers are pro-mercury fillings. Today, the subcontractor, LSRO, reversed course and invited Professor Boyd Haley of the University of Kentucky, one of the distinguished researchers in the field of mercury fillings. Having been occasional critics of the Center, we wish to thank you and the Ombudsman for taking steps to correct the lack of balance at the hearings. Sincerely, Charles G.
