Under the provisions of Public Law 95-622 (approved November 9, 1978),
p. 3435, and as amplified by supporting statements in the Congressional
Record, October 14, 1978 (pp. H 13573, H 13574), the Secretary of HEW
was directed to conduct a comprehensive analysis of all research conducted
or supported by the Federal Government in ionizing radiation, with emphasis
on human health and related biological aspects and with particular attention
to the effects of low-level ionizing radiation. Copies of the documents
cited are enclosed. The analysis will be performed by the National Academy
of Science and is scheduled to begin July 1, 1979.
In light of the Congressional mandate, I am writing-to you to inquire
whether any research activities your organization conducts, either in-house
or by contract or grant with non-Federal institutions or organizations,
a].1 wit-in the scope of the statute.
Should your reply indicate that a portion of your a,),, priation is used
to support activiti.Cs identified a'ove, ;ould you t.I _ e narr,e a ` `ch r
of your staff who can supply any nrre1_ded I n proceed with Lh;
mandated review.
If you have any questions regarding this request, Dr. Charles U. Lo.,e
(Tel. [phone]) will be pleased to assist you.
Let me thank you in advance for any assistance you can give in meeting
our responsibilities in this matter.
Sincerely yours,
