the early detection and control of breast and cervical cancer. The

surveillance, epidemiologic investigations, education and training,

not impaired. Appointments shall be made without discrimination on the 
basis of age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, HIV status, 
disability, and cultural, religious, or socioeconomic status. 
Consideration is given to a broad representation of geographic areas 
within the U.S., with diverse representation of both genders, all
