tight schedule to produce this report and for their willingness to adjust personal schedules
to do this work on short notice. He also thanks the staff of the Board on Life Sciences for
handling logistics and coordinating the production of the committee’s report. Once again,
the chair notes that the most valuable contribution was made by the study director,
Marilee Shelton-Davenport, whose knowledge and patient leadership were instrumental
in producing a high-quality report.

Although the reviewers listed above have provided many constructive comments
and suggestions, they were not asked to endorse the conclusions or recommendations, nor
did they see the final draft of the report before its release. The review of the report was
overseen by Ed Perrin, University of Washington, and John Samet, Johns Hopkins
University. Appointed by the National Research Council, they were responsible for
making certain that an independent examination of the report was carried out in
accordance with institutional procedures and that all review comments were carefully
considered. Responsibility for the final content of the report rests entirely with the
authoring committee and the institution.
