    Appointment for the National Cancer Advisory Board
    September 8, 1994

        The President today announced his intention to appoint Barbara K.
    Rimer, Dr. P.H., of Duke University, as Chair and member of the National
    Cancer Advisory Board (NCAB).
        ``The NCAB plays a critical role by providing advice on the Federal
    cancer research effort,'' the President said. ``Dr. Rimer has
    demonstrated her ability to meld insight from the biological and
    behavioral sciences into new approaches to cancer control, and I look
    forward to her leadership of the NCAB.''

    the Press Secretary.
