Dear Colleague:

Here is the Table of Contents of the July/August issue of MICROWAVE NEWS.

As we noted in out last update, this issue features comprehensive coverage
of the decision by a working group of 30 scientists assembled by the U.S.
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) to categorize
electromagnetic fields (EMFs) as "possible carcinogens."


********************************************************
Because of the importance of the NIEHS panel's decision, we are making this
issue of MICROWAVE NEWS available for only $10.00 if you pay with a
personal check --instead of the usual $60.00 single issue price. If you pay
with an institutional check, please send $25.00. PLEASE also send us a 9x12
SASE with $1.24 postage. (Outside the U.S., please send $15 and $30 for
personal and institutional checks, respectively.)
********************************************************


The first few paragraphs of our front cover story on the decision are now
on our Web site. Visitors to the Web site will also find the **full texts**
of the working group's overall conclusion, a story on EMF health risks, and
information on how to order and comment on the working group's report.

This issue's regular opinion column, "Views on the News," looks at how the
NIEHS sought to downplay the health risks from EMFs. The **full text** of
the column also appears on our Web site.

As always, there is much more. We invite you to visit our site and e-mail
comments to .

Of course, we hope you will join us as a subscriber --if you aren't one
already-- and get all the latest news.


Sincerely,

Louis Slesin
Editor and Publisher


P.S. You requested these e-mail updates when you visited our Web site. If
