Technical hranch, Iso tows Division Oak Ridge, Tennessee I zm cert e in ly pleased and ing-essed. vith the excellent job you have done in rJ re pri rig the :ninutes of o w inec-tine of the silbfev; points that IT odd like to raise for your corsi cer at sion and the other rnembers ofthe Subcommittee. 1. On I;ak.e 5the statement i s made t o the effect kh8t a number of recommendztions on that page should be considered asa @ .de to the leo to pes Dtvision and not for ~ b1.i ~r e lease. This presents8question T;;liich m y be in sign if i cent since you pss i bly have i n mind a nay of circ-zcvep%inct h e dilerma. The pkn e stab - zp pov el of the Foc e3u - ein hu.m subjects. It v:ould EF per to me that this dic tm ri;cruld heve t o be re vez led,if not to the general pddi,c,at I.ezst to institutions vihich night consider the h man 2.

This presumably would save time both for the 3p~il-icent as well as your organ iz c tion. 5. It would seem app opiate to all oK8priod of grace of fron 60 t o 90 days between the time when these new rules and regulations are issued and the date when they become effective.I am cer - tain that there are a rurnber of i cst it ut lons which do not have is oi op corm it tees set up in the form presented i n our re com end at ions.

It rust that these s uc pet ions mey be of help to you and please keep in mind that they are just comments offered in the hope that they niay assist. you in prep ring the final &eft. Very truly yours,
