The Public

On October 1, 1956, the Armed Forces Medical Library was transferred to the Public Health Service and is now operating as the National Library of Medicine. An Act of Congress on August 3, 1956, places the Library under the Surgeon General of the Public Health Service. The National Library of Medicine involves the largest collection of medical literature in the western hemisphere and one of the largest research libraries in any field of special interest. The library publishes the most extensive periodical index in existence today, the Current List of Medical Literature. A new publication, Bibliography of Medical Reviews, was begun in 1955 and contains citations for the review literature of medicine which appears during the current year. Congress has authorized the construction of a new building on a site to be selected by the Surgeon General, and funds for the architect's plans have been appropriated.

Virus Leukemia

The need for a symbol to warn of potential infection hazards became apparent during Public Health Service contract work on the development of containment facilities for virus-leukemia research. A program of direct inquiry and a search of the literature revealed that there was no universally used signal and that scientific and safety organizations concurred in the need for one. Criteria for symbol design were established, and final section was based on “uniqueness” and “memorability.” The National Institutes of Health is recommending use of the symbol as a warning of biological hazard.

Aids Crisis

The office of Surgeon General has off and on been slated for termination. But that was before Ronald Reagan's Surgeon General, the patriarchal, independent-minded C. Everett Koop, emerged from obscurity to become the telegenic evangelist of the AIDS crisis. Tolerated by the Reagan White House as a bargain-priced diversion from its own lassitude on AIDS, Koop demonstrated how the office could be used for mass education by a public health champion with a rhetorical flair. In TV parlance, the Surgeon General became the "nation's doctor." Koop's visibility was enhanced when he exercised the long-neglected right of Public Health Service officers to deck themselves out in navy-cut gold-braided uniforms.
