:_ Aasndas of Open Sessions of F; ~ Committee Meetings The committee gathered information about the state of prion science from journal articles and sections of reports provided by committee staff, as well as from presentations and group dialogues during three meetings held in the summer and fall of 2002. The agendas of the open sessions of those meetings appear below. Meeting 1 luly 17-18, 2002 500 5th Street, NW, Room 101, Washington, DC Purpose of the Meeting · Discuss and reconcile any bias issues with committee members · Orient members and consultants to the National Prion Research Project · Orient members and consultants to any U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) concerns regarding the threat of transmissible spongiform encepha- lopathies (TSEs) to their food and blood supplies · Clarify the study tasks and determine a strategy for accomplishing them · Determine if the committee is lacking any area of needed expertise · Determine the format and identify presenters who should be invited to address the committee at subsequent meetings · Determine study milestones and subsequent meeting dates 233
