There is a javascript link that "drops down" initially invisible content.
The functionality is at this link:

Click on "The Role of the Advisory Committee." Can anyone react on the
accessibility of this feature? I would appreciate any feedback.

Vertically-oriented "pure CSS" popout menus present some usability issues. You can look for some recent discussion of this on this list. Once past those issues, the problem I see on your page is that you are using the poorly thought out "Suckerfish" method of hiding the sub-menus offscreen. This is very bad because if you attempt to browse with your keyboard, you are going to be tabbing through invisible links... very confusing. The only good point I see is that the links in your sub-menus are prepresented in the main content area on the relevant main section page.

To fix the tabbing problem, change your CSS approach for hiding the sub-menus to use display: none and then display:block to show them.
