Dr. Parker, on page 2 you state that the basis for most of the standards used today are the recommendations of the ICRP and the NCRP and that this situation is essentially unchanged today. What then is the role of such an agency as the FRC? _ Mr. Parxer. This, sir, in no way downgrades the role of that very important body. I am separating rather, and perhaps even artificially, basic standards, the broad outlook on what has to be done in the technical area. You will recall previous discussions in whichit is agreed that one never completely separates the technical area from other areas of judgment. In the technical area the standardsarestill essentially those put together by these two bodies. We conceive a Federal Radiation Council role as continuing to apply value judgments which are indeed noless important than the basic technical judgments and making these available to the Nation. “abehyoeiaHaden: eagbatpesebabencbEs eaRE BREE Stescathesheetaks! ag OS
