The RFP is not intended as a solicitation for an epidemiologic study of health effects or other outcomes potentially associated with herbicide exposure.

From page 4...
... This paper was not written by the Committee on the Assessment of Wartime Exposure to Herbicides in Vietnam or any of its members, and it should not be viewed as instruction from the committee regarding the form or content of proposals.
