Led by Dr. Andrew C. Ivy, the Green Committee convenes and releases a report arguing that medical experimentation in U.S. prisons is consensual and necessary for scientific advancement, denying all comparisons to "research" done in concentration camps by the Nazis.

The report is published in February 1948 in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).
