Angina pectoris syndrome 4, Diabetes mellitus, controlled by diet Regarding your questions about whether Mr. GAMBINO can take part in deportation proceedings; it is our opinion that ne may be served papers and interrogated without much risk to the patient, It is possible that under tne condition of emotional excitement, Mr. GAMBINO will have episodes of angina pectoris pain. These can be readily controlled by the patient taking nitroglycerin tablets. We suggest that the nearings be neld as informally as possible and that the questioning period be no more than 20 to 30 minutes in length with a suort rest interval between each questioning period. Ir Me. GAMBINO would taxc a nitroglycerin prior to the questioning period he may nave less difficulty with his anginal pain. A very small risk does exist that if the patient were to become severely agitated, he might . have a myocardial infarction.
