Remarks by the President in Acceptance of Human Radiation Final Report, The White House, Office of the Press Secretary, 3 Oct 1995.
Primary record
the United States of America offers a sincere apology to those of our citizens who were subjected to these experiments, to their families, and to their communities.
Thousands of government-sponsored experiments did take place at hospitals, universities and military bases around our nation.
scientists injected plutonium into 18 patients without their knowledge.
they were shrouded not for a compelling reason of national security, but for the simple fear of embarrassment, and that was wrong.
When the government does wrong, we have a moral responsibility to admit it.
While most of the tests were ethical by any standards, some were unethical, not only by today’s standards, but by the standards of the time in which they were conducted.

We can look at you in the eye and finally say on behalf of the American people, what the United States government did was shameful, and I am sorry.
To Macon County, to Tuskegee, to the doctors who have been wrongly associated with the events there, you have our apology, as well.
I would like to recognize the other survivors who are here today and their families: Mr. Charlie Pollard is here.
Mr. Carter Howard. (Applause.) Mr. Fred Simmons.
Medical people are supposed to help when we need care, but even once a cure was discovered, they were denied help, and they were lied to by their government.
To our African American citizens, I am sorry that your federal government orchestrated a study so clearly racist.
And Mr. Frederick Moss, thank you, sir.
