SUBJECT: CMA Vinyl Chloride Health Committee Update DOW RESTRICTED We have just received comments from ATSDR's peer reviewers on the CMA proposed protocol for a combined reproductive/developmental toxicity test. The protocol was originally drafted by Bill Breslin of H&ES, as you may recall. The peer reviewers were Ronald D. Hood, PhD, Barbara F. Hales, PhD, and Mildred S. Christian, PhD, ATS. I am not familiar with these scientists, but perhaps Bill is. Their comments were quite favorable overall and seem to call only for some "fine-tuning" of the proposed protocol. I will share the comments with Bill Breslin and go from there. We have three weeks to submit our responses to ATSDR. Given the favorable response from the peer reviewers and what I heard in a conversation I had with Chris DeRosa and Bill Cibulas of ATSDR, I think there is no question that the study will be approved and ATSDR and CMA can develop and MOU for this testing. Please let me know where the business is in the budgeting cycle so that I can work with Has Shah at CMA on planning for the funding of this study. We have been working with a ball-park estimate of $500,000 for the study up to now, but I will also talk with Bill about fine-tuning that estimate as well. Please feel free to call should you have questions about this matter. iathan n a> S* CD G3
