The labels were added at the insistence of the Office of ResearchIntegrity after last year's revelations of misconduct by a Montrealparticipant in NSABP trials headed by Dr. Fisher. The government,through faxes sent to distributors of the databases, will alsoapologize for the labels, stating that Dr. Fisher's own researchhas never been found to be at fault.
