of the work was delayed. This delay affected procurement of materials and personnel and set back the Project work schedules for a corresponding period. In the advance planning of functional operations and basic records, the H & N Fiscal Division endeavored to give full consideration to the complexities of record and report requirements peculiar to Cost-PlusFixed-Fee Contracts with government agencies, particularly in overseason-continent operation. Guided by extensive past experience, it was an- ticipated that many complicated problems would be encountered in efforts to comply not only with the fiscal requirements of the AEC but with those of the numerous governmental agencies associated with the Comaission in a “joint-venture” arrangement on this Project. As an Integrated Contractor of the AEC, it was the desire of Holmes & Narver to function effectively as a member of the team engaged in this important phase of the work. To this end, the constant efforts of the entire fiscal staff were always directed, and to this end the splendid cooperative efforts of governmental fiscal agencies were similarly directed. 11-4
