S i s s o n Subject: Responsibilities Related tc Program on Particulate Emissions - I Pursuant to our meeting of members of Car Systems Research, Engine & Foundry, and Engineering Staff, the following tentative assignments have been drafted for your review and c: ments. Your suggestions for additional or revised functions and responsibilities will be appreciated. We propose to meet again the week of December 8 to discuss your comments prior to formal publication. ` A.
