Background

    The Risk Assessment and Management Commission held its first 
meeting on May 16, 1994 (Federal Register 59 FR 22615 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 continue their 
inquiries and discussions on the five topical areas mandated by 
Congress: review of the National Research Council's report Science and 
Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994); exposure scenarios; uncertainty and 
variability; risk management; and cross-agency consistency.
    For information about the Commission, please call Joanna Foellmer 
at 703-308-8087.

    Dated: September 19, 1994.
Gail Charnley,
Executive Director, President's Commission on Risk Assessment and Risk 
Management.
