    Appointment for the President's Cancer Panel
    September 8, 1994

        The President today announced his intention to reappoint Harold P.
    Freeman, M.D., of Harlem Hospital Center, New York, as Chair and member
    of the President's Cancer Panel. The President's Cancer Panel is a 3-
    member group providing advice to the President on various aspects of the
    National Cancer Program. Dr. Freeman has chaired the Panel since 1991.
        ``The President's Cancer Panel plays an essential role in monitoring
    the Nation's cancer program and guiding its progress into the future,''
    the President said. ``I admire Dr. Freeman's commitment to reducing
    death and suffering from cancer during this time of significant progress
    and considerable challenge in cancer research. The National Cancer
    Program is vital to our Nation's health.''
