Identifying topics for discussion with LLL during rest of the day.

Thompson:

The document should stop at dose assessment,

i.e., it should not make

comparisons with guidelines.

Will there be a document that indicates what the cleanup actually

It turns out

that adult females eat more than adult males (according to the diet
survey).

Hence, the female diet rather than the male diet is limiting.
