I do not think that that would be helpful at all. Mr. Bock appears to be a
media contact, a liaison between journalists and people who are involved in
the study. He might be able to direct comments to the appropriate person,
but I very much doubt he's got any pull with regard to study design.
There's a lot of information at <http://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov/>
for background on this study.
It's been in the planning stages for several years now while researchers
have hashed out what data will be collected. As I understand it there'll be
no special effort to either include or exclude exclusively and extensively
breastfed babies, but diet will be considered. I don't know how
specifically they define breastfeeding.
Rather than inundate poor hapless Mr. Bock with questions though, it might
be better to make some queries through the Nation Children's Study website;
e.g., see <http://www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov/about/mission/index.cfm>
