In "Adult Blood Lead Epidemiology and Surveillance -- United
States, Second Quarter, 1994," on page 741, the first sentence of
the second paragraph should read "The cumulative number of BLL
reports for the first and second quarters of 1994 increased 48%
over the comparable time period for 1993 (Table_1)." On pages
741-
742, the last sentence of the third paragraph should be deleted.
The following table contains the corrected numbers and footnotes
and replaces Table 1 on page 742.
