Several accounts were increased from 30K level to the 40K level asthe 30K level no longer supports a man year of effort with modest supplies and expense. The project on Electron Di fraction and Structure Analysis shows an increase in cost due to the increased use ofthe computer by Budinger. Initiation of the Tritium Metabolism project has' commenced but due tothe expense of terminated projects,only the initial start - up funds are left for this project.
