Confidential Memorandum dated March 14, 1979

 It is admitted in internal memorandum that Lederle did not test all the original seeds. Furthermore, they felt that if the progeny seeds were free of any extraneous agents then one can presume the parent seeds were satisfactory. (Please refer to the highlighted section of the document) However, in another interoffice correspondence obtained by SV40 Cancer we see that the progeny seeds did contain SV40 thereby disqualifying the validity of the original seeds. Nevertheless, Lederle still released their product to the American Public.
