This date waa passed to the AAOYF and, as they had agreed in advance, they began to work immediately. That date was felt to be a reasonable on« with the programed personnel on board, in frtw K«antiB@, we had secured additional active duty personnel frota th<? Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps as we had said we would. The approach to the records u@«d by the AAOTF was basted on decisions of the Science Panel of th« AOWC and sora« announced asauraptions on our part whore there were no fira guidelineo. Discussions over the last month have made it apparent that there remain serious unresolved issues with regard to the 0CLA protocol in both its scop« and focus and in regard to ao£t« aspects of cohort selection. While the AAOT7 has been making excellent progress, th«re is now a substantial likelihood that the cohort selection process may not fully meet the VA's desires which ar« still being articulated by the VA. Accordingly, I have directed the AAOl'F to suspend its pilot study cohort selection activities until such ti»« as the aforementioned issues are resolved and the AAOTf can b« given clear and confirmed narching orders. We and th« AAOTF stand ready to assist those individuals and groups who are working with the protocol, particularly in those areas where thft records have a direct bearing on what is possible in tho way of data extraction. When definite new directions arcs aade available, we will, of course, immediately resua« the selection process for the pilot study. It is clear that the January 1, 1983, date can no longer be aet« A new date will have to be set depending on when we corasence work and the scope of the required records work. �As a matter of incidental interest, the AACTF lias briefed tm> National Academy of Science review personnel as requested by the VA. We continue to stand ready to be of all possible assistance with this important study. S16HIB P«t«r A, Plynn Captain, J1C, QSN Director for Professional Servicoo cc; Mr. R.
