Second Committee Meeting
March 14-15, 2011
NAS Keck Center
500 5th Street, NW
Washington, DC 20001
NOTE: This meeting is being held to gather information that will help the committee conduct its study. Committee members often engage in discussion and questioning for the specific purpose of probing an issue and sharpening an argument. The comments of any given committee member may not necessarily reflect the position she or he actually holds on the subject under discussion, to say nothing of that person's future position as it evolves over the course of the project. Similarly, at this time, the committee as a whole is drawing no conclusions and making no recommendations. In fact, the committee will deliberate thoroughly before writing its final report. Once the draft report is written, it must go through a rigorous review by experts who are anonymous to the committee, and the committee must respond to this review with appropriate revisions that adequately satisfy the Academy's Report Review Committee before it is considered an NRC report. For these reasons, observers who draw any conclusions from today's discussions about the position of the committee or any individual member regarding findings or recommendations in the final report will be doing so prematurely.
