to promising new therapies, assist in

meeting the National Cancer Institute’s

clinical trial goals, and arrival at

conclusions regarding the safety and

efficacy of emerging therapies in the

treatment of cancer. The January 24,

1996, notice anticipated the possibility

of extending the demonstration.

The NCI trials program is the

principal means by which the oncology

community has developed clinical

evidence for the efficacy of various

treatment approaches in cancer therapy.

Participating institutions include NCI’s

network of comprehensive and clinical

cancer centers, university and

community hospitals and practices, and

military treatment facilities. Despite this

extensive network and includes the

nation’s premier medical centers, cure

rates for most types of cancer remain

disappointing, highlighting the

significant effort still required for

improvement. The principal means by

which advances in therapy will be

realized is through application of

research to victims of cancer. In support

of NCI’s efforts to further the science of

cancer treatment, the Department

expanded its breast cancer

demonstration to include all NCIsponsored phase II and phase III clinical

trials. This expanded demonstration

will enhance current NCI efforts to

determine safety and efficacy of

promising cancer therapies by

expanding the patient population

available for entry into clinical trials

and stabilizing the referral base for these

clinical activities. While this

demonstration provides an exception to

current CHAMPUS benefit limitations,

the Department hypothesizes that this

increased access to innovative cancer

therapies will occur at a cost

comparable to that which the

Department has experienced in paying

for conventional therapies under the

standard CHAMPUS program. Results of

this demonstration will provide a

framework for determining the scope of

DoD’s continued participation in the

NCI’s research efforts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April

8, 1997 (62 FR 16694), the Department

of Defense published 32 CFR part 216 as

an interim rule. This rule and the

Omnibus Consolidated Appropriations

Act of 1997 require the Department of

Defense semi-annually to publish a list

of the institutions of higher education

ineligible for Federal funds due to a

policy or practice that either prohibits,

or in effect prevents, the Secretary of

Defense from obtaining, for military

recruiting purposes, entry to campuses,

access to students on campuses, access

to directory information on students or

that has an anti-ROTC policy. On

October 6, 1997 (62 FR 52091), the

Department of Defense published a list

of the institutions of higher education

ineligible for Federal Funding; this

listing updates and supersedes that

listing.
