sentence to be completed for the medical and for the monitoring
programs: "The recommended program is estimated to cost from
$
per year in 1981 to $
per year in 1986."
1 know that such projections are uncertain and are very difficult

to predict.

Nevertheless, these estimates are for presentation

to the President and so must represent our best estimate for all
anticipated program requirements.

A draft of the projected costs, together with a cost breakdown to

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
