California Governor Pete Wilson on 3/23/94 ordered Dr. Larry Barrett, 
the head of the Ca. Dept. of Health, to investigate the possible deaths 
of 25,000 Californians per year related to magnesium deficiency, which 
causes heart attacks.   Dr. Barrett conferred with Dr. Raymond Neutra of 
the same department, and they brought in Dr. Arthur Marx from 
Switzerland.   Dr. Marx conferred with the CDC in Atlanta, and has 
convened a panel in Dec. '94 to figure out what to do about the 
magnesium problem.   The panelists include the above doctors and also 
Dr. Carl Keen from U. C. Davis, and some others.   

Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, (retired), writes, "A good case can be 
made for the correlation of cardiovascular death with magnesium 
deficient water."    

United States Senator Barbara Boxer (Ca.) writes that she favors more 
information about the problem be given to Americans.    Senator 
Feinstein has not yet responded to the information sent her.
