Board. Are you all going to be interested in providing this document publicly when you have this discussion publicly? ' Cause I'll be more than happy to start redacting it so that we can get copies for the public discussion. Yes? Is that all right? DR. ZIEMER: I'm not sure we even know. I've not even seen what's in this document, so – DR. MELIUS: Can you ask that again in about an hour? MS. HOMOKI-TITUS: Sure. DR. MELIUS: Yeah, I think that'd be -- 'cause I'd hate to have you do all that work and – you know, it may... 15 DR MAURO: Quite frankly, I felt that except for a couple of instances, we were able to perform what I 16 considered to be an effective review in spite of the fact that the site profile review had not been completed. 22 DR. ROESSLER: Well, you brought up another word, and that's "efficiency". And this is kind of a general question and I don't know the answer to it. When NIOSH employed the efficiency process to a case, and then you knew that and you knew based on information that you had, did you also then apply the efficiency process or take that into consideration and let's say be less critical of detail on that particular case because they did employ the efficiency process? DR. MAURO: Absolutely. Perfect example is there are two Bethlehem Steel cases which were granted -- the claim was granted, and the calculation of dose was limited to a very limited number of pathways. In other words, they would look simply at the inhalation dose to the lung and stop at that point and not consider the external exposure. 24 DR. MAURO: To the extent that we could come to the point where we felt that they reconstructed the dose to the org-- to the lung correctly, and on that basis we agreed with their dose, we did not -- and then we -- we stopped at that point. We did not ask whether or not they should have looked at some external dose. We took it on faith, on face value, that they got a PC of greater than .5 'cause we never ran the PC calculation to see if in fact that's true. Okay? I think that's important. * * * * * * * * * *
