PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PLAN YOU SUBMIT, IF IT IS ADOPTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND AGREED TO BY ALL PARTIES, MUST BE REVIEWED BY A SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY GROUP SELECTED BY THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR (POSSIBLY THE ACADEMY) AND APPROVED BY THE CONGRESS. FOR THIS EFFORT OHER IS PREPARED TO FUND PACIFIC NORTHWEST LABORATORY IN THE AMOUNT OF $75,000, HALF TO BE FUNDED IN FY 80 AND HALF TO BE FUNDED IN FY 81.
