National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
The Breast Cancer Fund contacted Senate offices about preserving the current Design for the Environment program in the EPA.

The Breast Cancer Fund visits Senate offices to support an amendment to the Senate NDAA that directs the Secretary of Defense, in carrying out

Cancer and Environmental Research Coordinating Committee to prioritize prevention and increase the study of chemical and physical factors in breast
cancer (IBCERCC).

risks- including potentially hazardous, cancer-causing chemicals currently being used in a variety of consumer products.

REGULATION AND LEGISLATIVE INTENT:
