Scope and content
SZ’s association with the Lovelace Foundation for Medical Education and Research dates back to 1951, when he was asked by the Air Ministry’s Flying Personnel Research Committee (FPRC), on behalf of Dr W. Randolph Lovelace, Chairman of the [U.S.] Armed Forces Medical Policy Council, to "go over to America and advise them on problems of blast effects, which have been given top priority by the Department of Defence [sic]".
The Foundation owed its existence to Randolph Lovelace I, and was responsible for a clinic and hospital (the Bataan Memorial Hospital) in Albuquerque, New Mexico. By the beginning of the 1950s the Lovelace Clinic was a major contractor to the United States government in the field of research into the biological effects of nuclear weapons. The Clinic’s Director of Research was Dr Clayton S. (Sam) White and much of the correspondence is with him and Randolph (Randy) Lovelace II.
