NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was
approved by the Governing Board of the National Research
Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the
National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of
Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of the
committee responsible for the report were chosen for their
special competences and with regard for appropriate balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the
authors according to procedures approved by a Report
Review Committee consisting of members of the National
Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of
Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit,
self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged
in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the
furtherance of science and technology and to their use for
the general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter
granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a
mandate that requires it to advise the federal government
on scientific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is
president of the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in
1964, under the charter of the National Academy of
Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding
engineers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the
selection of its members, sharing with the National
Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the
federal government. The National Academy of Engineering
also sponsors engineering programs aimed at meeting
national needs, encourages education and research, and
recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr.
William A. Wulf is interim president of the National
Academy of Engineering.

The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the
National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of
eminent members of appropriate professions in the
examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the
public. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to
the National Academy of Sciences by its congressional
charter to be an adviser to the federal government and,
upon its own initiative, to identify issues of medical care,
research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine is President
of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the
National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the
broad community of science and technology with the
Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising
the federal government. Functioning in accordance with
general policies determined by the Academy, the Council
has become the principal operating agency of both the
National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy
of Engineering in providing services to the government, the
public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The
Council is administered jointly by both Academies and the
Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts and Dr. William
A. Wulf are chairman and interim vice chairman,
respectively, of the National Research Council.
Support for this project was provided by Contract NASW
4627 between the National Academy of Sciences and the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
