I have no idea whether or not this is on the web, but here is the

publication information:



     REPORT OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH AD HOC WORKING GROUP TO

DEVELOP                           RADIOEPIDEMIOLOGICAL TABLES



Responding to the Congressional Mandate under Section 7(b) of the Orphan

Drug Act of                        January 4, 1983 (PL 97-414)





                           January 4, 1985





                   Published by the Office of the Director

                           National Institutes of Health



                        NIH Publication No. 85-2748



For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Govt. Printing Office,

Washington, D.C. 20402.



By the way, the analysis is really flawed, and I refer you to JAMA

257(6)806-809, 1987 for a scathing critique.



Ciao, Carol
