Background

    The Risk Assessment and Management Commission held its first 
meeting on May 16, 1994 (Federal Register 59/FR22615/Vol. 59, No. 83, 
May 2, 1994.) The Commission was established by Congress to make a full 
investigation of the policy implications and appropriate uses of risk 
assessment and risk management in regulatory programs under various 
Federal laws to prevent cancer and other chronic human health effects 
which may result from exposure to hazardous substances.
    It is expected that the Commission members will review and discuss 
the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council/Committee on 
Risk Assessment of Hazardous Air Pollutants report entitled Science and 
Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994) during the next three meetings. If 
you would like a copy of this document, please write to Dr. James Reisa 
at the National Academy of Sciences, 2101 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20007. The Commission will address its scope of work, 
its relevance to various agencies and statutes, and various 
organizational matters.
    For information about the Commission and copies of the agenda, 
please call Joanna Foellmer at 202-260-5881.

    Dated: June 9, 1994.
