Blood By 1992 By NORMAN BLACK AP Military Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The Pentagon thanks to pioneering research work by a Navy laboratory has launched an unusual program to produce what would be the largest stockpile of frozen blood for use in emergencies The effort known as the Blood Program is designed to ensure that doc tors will have sufficient blood supplies overseas to treat com bat casualties during the early days of a war It calls for stockpiling 300000 units of frozen blood by 1992 The key to the program is research that has convinced military medical leaders that red blood

the Navy laboratory which is affiliated with the Boston University School of Medicine The panel concluded cumulative research over the past two decades offered a means of assuring a safe stockpile of
