To date, eight projects have been identified and are in various states of completion*. They are summarized below together with our best estimate of man effort required and realistic target date. Dr. J. Mieure has ` overall responsibility for the completion of these projects with other manpower being used where appropriate. The com pletion dates Indicates are based on our continued access to electron capture gas chromatography equipment in the Analytical and Physical Chemistry groups. Earlier completion of these projects will require additional manpower (and GC equipment) or a realigning of project priorities. db .Attachment Martin W . Dietrich \ 1 NEV 036882
