When one of us joined the other on the staff of Clarkson College of Technology in 1970 we had published twelve different compilations of polaro-graphic data one of us had been involved in this work since 1950 and the other since 1955- In our common concern for continuing it we were fortunate enough to be able to secure financial support from the National Library of Medicine of the National Institutes of Health. It should be clear from what has been said above that this volume, the first of a series, owes its existence to that support. 

Initiatives by medical researchers, by DES Action, and by the Public Citizen s Health Research Group secured funding in the USA for medical research on the prevalence of cancer and other effects in the young women who had been exposed in utero, and eventually also the men. The US National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) has been one of the centers for toxicological studies of the effects of diethylstilbestrol. A substantial amount of research on the effects of diethylstilbestrol— animal experiments as well as epidemiological studies— has produced a valuable body of knowledge about how hormones affect the development of the fetus and prime the individual for disease later in life.

Occupational and consumer protection are seen as technical exercises in France. The National Institute of Research and Security (INRS) and the Institute for the Industrial Environment and Safety (INERIS) may be aptly described as state apparatus to control costs to the state of poor regulation. INERIS plays little part in the development of risk-reduction strategies (RRS) because consumer protection and environmental protection follow directly from the risk assessment process. INERIS feeds relevant information directly to the MEDD. Because MESA acts only as a statistical and economic branch of occupational protection, responsibility for the development of occupational RRS is left to the INRS.

The establishment of the Department of Homeland Security and the significantly increased investment by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in medical countermeasures and vaccines are leading to increased activities in these areas, which should in turn impact the Joint CBD Program. The committee believes, however, that its recommendations remain applicable. The Department of the Navy should follow closely and leverage any such future activities to accelerate developments appropriately in the Joint CBD Program.

Many federal documents, particularly those on environmental subjects, are obtainable from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS). NTIS, an agency of the U. S. Department of Commerce, is the central source for the public sale of U. S. sponsored research, development and technical reports. The Monthly Catalog lists by agency and is available from GPO. Many publications on safety and toxicology that relate to chemical industry needs, however, must be obtained from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) in Cincinnati. Securing state documents can be equally frustrating.
