Since 1947, the 723 reports by the Committee have yielded countless benefits to the Department of Defense, other government agencies, and the American people by providing authoritative information and independent scientific guidance for our efforts to protect the health of uniformed personnel, civilian workers, and the general public from toxicological exposures. We salute the 120 scientists from America 's universities, industries, and other organizations who have served innumerable hours without monetary compensation as the past and present members of the Committee. As the Committee begins its second half-century of scientific service, I am confident that all who have benefited from its important work will continue to rely gratefully upon its continuing help and advice in the future. With warm personal regards, Sincerely, Ronald R.
