Waxman House of Representatives Dear Mr. Waxman: LM106543 In your 'ay 2, 1977 letter, you asked us to review certain aspects of the National Cancer Institute's (NCI; carcinogenesis pro'3ram. Through discussions with your office, we agreed to respond to your concerns in two separate replies. In this first reply we arc providing information on --the roles and responsibilities of advisory groups to the carcinogenesis program and factual data on relatfonships between advisory group members and organizations that could be affected Dy NCI activities, --the extent to which advisory groups enccurage cr discourage NCI efforts to conduct an- sponsor research in cancer prevention and identification of environmental carcinogens, and --the effect of the Clearinghouse on Environmental Carcinogens on the program. You also asked several questions regarding program oper- ations. We are continuing our fieldwork on these matters and anticipate sending a response to you by August 1978. In July 1977 NCI reorganized the carcinogenesis program by dividing it into two separate activities--a carcinogenesis testing program and a carcinogenesis research program. These programs are in NCI's Division of Cancer Cause and Prevention (DCCP). The informa- tion contained in this report is applicable to both of these programs. Our work included reviewing NCI records, minutes of advisory group meetings, and discuss 'ons with officials of NCI, the White House, the President's ancer Panel, the National Cancer Advisory Board, the Clearinghouse on Environmental Carcinooens, and the Carcinogenesis Program Scientific Review Committee.
