BACKGROUND:

As discussed in SECY 97-064, Executive Order 12891 established the Presidential Advisory Committee on Human Radiation Experiments (ACHRE) to review human radiation experiments and to provide advice and recommendations to a cabinet-level Human Radiation Interagency Working Group. NRC was not a member of the cabinet-level Group, but did provide relevant documents and information to the Group and to the ACHRE. The Group established a site, on the WWW, to make the full text of the documents retrieved by the Group, and used by ACHRE in its review, available. In 1997, the Group asked NRC to provide $50,000 to place NRC documents on the Website.
