Reeves announced that [the] CDC will initiate a national CFS survey;
a registry of CFS patients; a revision of the CFS case definition (based
on medical evidence); and research on edocrine and sleep abnormalities,
pathogenic agents, environmental exposures and brain imaging. CDC will
also expand its collaborations with other scientists, look into the
quality of life of CFS patients, investigate reported clusters in occupations
and families and launch a national CFS information campaign directed
