Study Team for the Los Alamos
Historical Document Retrieval and
Assessment (LAHDRA) Project
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) announces the following
meeting.
Name: Public Meeting of the Study
Team for the Los Alamos Historical
Document Retrieval and Assessment
Project.
Time and Date: 5 p.m.–7 p.m.,
(Mountain Time), Wednesday, July 23,
2008.
Place: Cities of Gold Hotel, Nambe
Conference Room, Cities of Gold Road
exit in Pojoaque (15 miles north of Santa
Fe on U.S. 84/285), 10–A Cities of Gold
Road, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87506,
telephone (505) 455–0515, fax (505)
455–3060.
Status: Open to the public, limited
only by the space available. The meeting
room accommodates approximately 200
people.
Background: Under a Memorandum
of Understanding (MOU) signed in
December 1990 with the Department of
Energy (DOE) and replaced by MOUs
signed in 1996 and 2000, the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) was given the
responsibility and resources for
conducting analytic epidemiologic
investigations of residents of
communities in the vicinity of DOE
facilities, workers at DOE facilities, and
other persons potentially exposed to
radiation or to potential hazards from
non-nuclear energy production use.
HHS delegated program responsibility
to CDC.
In addition, a memo was signed in
October 1990 and renewed in November
1992, 1996, and in 2000, between the
Agency for Toxic Substances and
Disease Registry (ATSDR) and DOE. The
MOU delineates the responsibilities and
procedures for ATSDR’s public health
activities at DOE sites required under
sections 104, 105, 107, and 120 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability

Act (CERCLA or a Superfund). These
activities include health consultations
and public health assessments at DOE
sites listed on, or proposed for, the
Superfund National Priorities List and
at sites that are the subject of petitions
from the public; and other healthrelated activities such as epidemiologic
studies, health surveillance, exposure
and disease registries, health education,
substance-specific applied research,
emergency response, and preparation of
toxicological profiles.
Purpose: This study group is charged
with locating, evaluating, cataloguing,
and copying documents that contain
information about historical chemical or
radionuclide releases from facilities at
the Los Alamos National Laboratory
(LANL) since its inception. The purpose
of this meeting is to review the goals,
methods, and schedule of the project,
discuss progress to date, provide a
forum for community interaction, and
serve as a vehicle for members of the
public to express concerns and provide
advice to CDC.
Matters To Be Discussed: Agenda
items include a presentation from the
National Center for Environmental
Health (NCEH) and its contractor
regarding the status of project work and
a summary of recent activities, such as
reviews of documents held by LANL
groups and divisions and information
gathering that has targeted key
information gaps that remain. Activities
that will be undertaken to complete
work by the LAHDRA contractor team
within 2009 will be described. There
will also be a photographic display and
brief presentation by Peter Malmgren of
Chimayo, New Mexico, regarding his
‘‘Los Alamos Revisited’’ oral history
project. A representative of the
Radiation Exposure Screening and
Education Program (RESEP) has been
invited to review the goals and activities
of that program. Administered by the
Federal Health Resources and Services
Administration, RESEP helps
individuals who live (or lived) in areas
where U.S. nuclear weapons testing
occurred. There will be time for public
input, questions, and comments. All
agenda items are subject to change as
priorities dictate.
