DEC 7 13 / 9 Dr. David Axelrod, M.D.
Commissioner Department of Health Power Building Empire State Plaza Albany, NY l2237
Dear Dr. Axelrod:
As you may be aware, Mr. Sherwood Davies of the New York State Department of Health was appointed to an Interorganizational Advisory Committee on Radiological Emergency Response Planning and Preparedness.
This Committee, with 4 members each from the National Association of State Directors for Disaster Preparedness (recently renamed the National Emergency Management Association), the U.S. Civil Defense Council, and the Conference of (State) Radiation Control Program Directors, operates under the aegis of this latter organization and is chaired by Mr. James L.
Montgomery of the Colorado Department of Health.
Since the Committee was formed, a little over two years ago, it has served as a useful sounding board and common forum for these three major national orgaizations to exchange points of view and to review and comment on proposed and ongoing Federal programs relating to radiological emergency planning and preparedness supportive of nuclear facilities and for transportation accidents involving radioactive material.
I would like to acknowledge Mr. Davies' valuable participation on the Committee. Also I would like to thank you for allowing Mr. Davies to spend the time necessary to attend the meetings several times each year.
Sincerely, 12ra-Qh e
Robert G. Ryan, Director Office of State Programs cc: Sherwood Davies, NY 1645 086 7912270
