principles and criteria associated with a forensic workplace drug 
testing program presented at the April 28-30, 1997, DTAB meeting and 
determine if those are the appropriate standards that any drug testing 
program needs to satisfy; (2) to review the information and scientific 
studies presented or submitted by the representatives of the 
alternative specimens and technology industries during and/or after the 
April 28-30 DTAB meeting, to determine their strengths and weaknesses, 
what criteria they satisfy, and what areas may need improvement; and 
(3) to make recommendations to assist these alternative specimens and 
technologies to satisfy the criteria.
