Sorry I did not reply right away; I was at the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention in Atlanta. The CDC is also the place to contact for the
above question. They have an informative brochure and a telephone request
system. I don't have the number handy for the request system but it is
probably on the WWW at
http://www.cdc.gov/
Hope this helps.
