Matters to be Discussed. The Hanford Thyroid Morbidity Study
Advisory Committee will meet to: (1) Discuss updates of the status

provide recommendations to CDC as to whether a full blown study is
feasible; and (2) conduct a public meeting for open discussion and
inform the public on the progress of the pilot study being conducted
by the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Specifically, the
discussions will focus on public information activities, Native
American components, and status reports on the conduct of the pilot
study. On February 22 at 7 p.m., the meeting will continue in order
to allow more time for public input and comment not addressed during
