Don Fredrickson asked that I send you material 
for his meeting with you on Monday, June 14. 
Enclosed is the agenda book prepared for members 
of his advisory committee that met in February 
to comment on the NIH proposed guidelines . The 
agenda book contains a number of review articles 
on the subject. Further, the proposed guidelines 
are included, as well as a summary of them that 
might be better for purposes of your review. 
Don Fredrickson will bring you up to date on his 
forthcoming decision on the guidelines when he 
meets with you.
