They require only a request for funding accompanied by a proposal which contains specifics of the proposed program with supporting cost estimate, test activities, schedule, etc. Charlie Hawkins, the FMPRB chairman, may unilaterally approve the proposal or he may circulate it among the members for comment. I have instructed Don Henry to prepare a cautious and prudent approach to this project, structured in sequential phases to minimize up-front cost and risk. Progression from one phase to the next is to be dependent on successfully completing the current phase. I expect to approach the FMPRB sometime during the latter half of April and shall'apprise you of the outcome. George'C.
