CROSS-EXAMINATION
Mr. Hardy: Prior to the afternoon recess, Doctor, we were discussing the phenol problem. Now, in this connection, did you at any time propose experiments to be conducted at Buchenwald concerning the tolerance of serum or sera containing phenol? That is, did you propose that in 1942 or 1943 at any time?
Defendant Mrugowsky: No. No such suggestions were made and they were not necessary, because in Germany every serum contains phenol. In the German serum industry there is no serum produced without phenol. I am speaking of the sera for therapeutic purposes, not vaccines.
Q. Then at no time did you even propose that experiments be conducted to determine the tolerance of sera containing phenol; is that what you say?
A. No. I never suggested that.
Q. Are you sure, Doctor?
A. Yes.
