The Risk Assessment and Management Commission held its first

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 review and discuss
the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council/Committee on
Risk Assessment of Hazardous Air Pollutants report entitled Science and
Judgment in Risk Assessment (1994) during the next three meetings. If
you would like a copy of this document, please write to Dr. James Reisa
at the National Academy of Sciences, 2101 Constitution Avenue, NW.,
Washington, DC 20007. The Commission will address its scope of work,
its relevance to various agencies and statutes, and various
organizational matters.
For information about the Commission and copies of the agenda,
