READING ROADMAP: A GUIDE TO JULY 25-26 BRIEFING BOOK (Vol. 5)

     Below is a guide to the Briefing Book for the July 25-26
meeting of the Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments.

This guide should help ease your reading load for the next
meeting, given the short amount of time you have to review these
materials.

     We have divided the reading into four categories: (1)
Essential; (2) Strongly Encouraged; (3) At Your.  Leisure; and
(4) For Your Reference (e.g., updated rosters, meeting timetables
and locations.) We will attempt to organize future briefing books
in accordance with this priority system to the extent possible
and/or will provide you with a roadmap similar to the one below.
