H. DANIEL RO~H Nell Roth, 45, is of average height and trim physique, with hazel eyes (glasses), light brown receding hair and a medium complexion. His outgoing, friendly manner, obvious intelligence, articulate speech and attractive dress combine to produce a highly- favorable first impression. He was born and raised in New York City, the second of four children of a successful restaurant owner/operator father. After graduating from private high school in 1959, he matriculated at Brooklyn College, City University of New York, where he earned a B.S. degree in Mathematics in 1964. This was followed by a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics from Hunter College in 1965, and a Doctorate in Theoretical Math (Prob- ability Theory) from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1969. (On the way to earning his doctorate, he received a Master's degree in Theoretical Math from Stony Brook in 1967.) He is married (since 1965), has two children, ages eleven and fourteen, and currently lives in Potomac, Maryland. Roth is bright, articulate (oral and written), cheerful, engaging, warm and strongly people-oriented. He obviously has high conceptual skills, is well organized, a good planner and an effective implementor. He is incisive, gets to the heart of an issue, is strongly focused in his efforts, constantly sets and re- evaluates priorities, and is very task- and mission-orien6ed. He is thorough, meticulous, punctual and extremely competitive. He has a fine sense of humor, works well with people at all levels, both technical and non-technical, takes great pride in the work he and his organization turn out and is an excellent p~esenter. He takes pressure well, loves challenge, is highly credible and has good boardroom presence. Upon receiving his doctorate, Roth stayed on at Stony Brook for two years as an instructor, then in 1969, joined the Smithsonian Insti- tution's Information Systems Division as a Researcher and Consultant in .Biomathematics and Statistics. In 1971, while continuing his affiliation with the Smithsonian, he became Clinical Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the Georgetown University School of Dentistry, an association he continues to this day. Also, in 1971 and continuing through 1973, he consulted to government and private agencies on statistical and information systems. In 1973, seeking management experience and the opportunity to get closer to industry, Roth joined the Environmental Protection Agency as a Senior Statistic(an in the Office of Planning and Management. In this two-year assignment, he dire6ted a permanent staff of three to four professionals, plus as additional six to ten assigned on a project basis, responsible for the health planning and evaluation activities of the department and for overseeing all the statistics generated by the Office. ". In early 1975, Roth and his wife decided to set up their own business as Roth Associates, Inc. This most successful consulting firm supplies .technical/scientific services to industry and Bri.,,~endcn Mcl~rland ~,~,~oncr & F.ceella Inc. TI0065-0538

H. DA~..L RO~ -- Page (foreign) governments on regulatory matters, statistical epidemiological studies of indoor air and other appropriate subjects of interest to CIAR. The firm now employs ten permanent professionals plus a support staff and has a stable of highly regarded scientists who are retained on a project basis as needed. (For a list of clients, as well as details on professional experience, publications, presentations and honors see attached Curriculum Vitae and sample investigation and report for the EEI). Although Roth's company has been very successful, after 12 1/2 years he has become rather bored with the business and is looking for a new challenge. If the right opportunity came along, he would either sell the business or hire someone to help his wife continue to operate it. The position of Executive Director for the CIAR is attractive because it offers a tremendous challenge in a growing field and in a field in which there exists very little in the way of good science today. He is further attracted by the prospects of organizing and managing his own operation and to be able to do so without having to relocate. Simply put, he believes in the mission of the Center and in his ability to achieve its objectives. The big negative with this candidate is his compensation. For the past several years he has been earning over $200,000 a year and he feels that he would have to receive a minimum of $200,000 in order to become a serious candidate. It is also a fact that his academic degrees are not in the physical or biological sciences, which could appear as a negative to some. In summary, this outstanding young scientist/statistician with ex- tensive experience in fields of direct interest to the Center, international recognition, outstanding presentation skills, extensive experience as an expert witness, a good feel for govern- ment and industry, a high degree of intelligence, integrity, credi- bility and the ability to bridge the gap between science and politics, should be interviewed even if his salary compensation ex- ceeds our budgetary limitation. If nothing else, he could become a valuable resource to the Center. He is willing to explore on that basis. To date, only limited reference checking has been conducted. Therefore, should mutual interest develop, no firm offer should be extended until a final thorough reference check has been completed. RMM:am (9/87) TI0065-0539
