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 competencies 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 con-
sisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National
Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.
The Institute of Medicine was chartered in 1970 by the National Academy
of Sciences to enlist distinguished members of the appropriate profes-
sions in the examination of policy matters pertaining to the health
of the public. In this, the Institute acts under both the Academy's
1863 Congressional charter responsibility to be an advisor to the
Federal Government, and its own initiative in identifying issues of
medical care, research and education.
