eludes the following information for each such project 

 (where such information is available from the Council's 

 files or from published sources) : (a) the name of the prin- 

 cipal investigator or investigators, (b) the institution or 

 institutions with which the principal investigator or inves- 

 tigators were associated, (c) the title or subject matter of 

 the Council Special Project, (d) the dates of funding of the 

 Council Special Project, (e) the total amount of funding 

 provided by the Council, and (f) a list of the publications 

 that apparently resulted, or may have resulted, from the 

 Council Special Project. Some of the publications identi- 

 fied on the list appear in the Council's Special Projects 

 files; others have been collected from other sources. In a 

 number of instances, it is not clear whether a particular 

 publication resulted from Council Special Project funding. 



My statement at the May 26 hearing that 250 peer- 

 reviewed articles are believed to have resulted from Council 

 Special Projects was based on my information about the num- 

 ber of publications that either were in the Council's files 

 or have been collected from other sources. Several clarifi- 

 cations should be made to that statement. First, our list 

 sets forth over 400 articles or presentations that resulted 

 or may have resulted from Council Special Projects; so far, 

 I understand, copies of about 250 of these articles or pre- 

 sentations have been obtained, and that understanding was 

 the source of my statement at the hearing. Second, most but 

 not all of these 250 articles or presentations were peer- 

 reviewed. Third, abstracts relating to Council Special 

 Projects publications were not included in the Council's 

 Annual Reports. 



Me expect to provide this list to you promptly 

 after we have reached an understanding with the Subcommittee 

 staff with respect to procedures for the Subcommittee's 

 handling of such materials provided by the Council. In the 

 interim, I respectfully recjuest that this letter be included 

 at pages 47 and 106 of the May 26 transcript. 



Statements by Ms. Cohen (Tr. at p. 78K At the 

 May 26 hearing, I was asked to supply documentation for my 

 statements about Dorothea B. Cohen, the former Council em- 

 ployee to whom comments were attributed in the Wall Street 

 Journal article of February 11, 1993. We had intended to 

 respond to the Subcommittee's request for documentation by 

 obtaining an affidavit from Ms. Cohen, setting forth her
