December 4, 1981 TO: Vinyl Chloride Program Panel SUBJECT: Up-date of Epidemiology Study The Vinyl Chloride Program Panel meeting scheduled for December 16, 1981 has been cancelled due to the unavaila bility of several key supporters of the epidemiology study. A new meeting date is tentatively set for January 20, 1982. In the interim I would appreciate a reaction (by phone or memorandum) to the present situation. There is also a new proposal to be considered that would split the present study into two parts corresponding to Phase I and Phase II of the present EHA study proposal. A separate contract agreement would be drawn up for each phase. The work product at the end of the first study would include: 1) updated study tapes, and 2) hard-copy summary of data on the tapes and an indication of the completeness of records. EHA would then develop a proto col for the second study and submit a bid for completion. At this point we would have the option of taking the study proto col to another contractor or continuing with EHA. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Sincerely, Carol R. Stack, Ph.D. Administrator Vinyl Chloride Program CRS/seh CMA101875
