Dr. Wachhelz -2- funds are received. August 12, 1980 2) Preparation of the 25 year report was to be performed by a consultant. Although the best estimate for this item in November was $15,000, it has turned out that Dr. Donald Paglia's assistance has been extremely valuable, and the report, which is currently being prepared will cost $22,000 in FY '80. This will cover consultation fees paid to Drs. Conard and Paglia. 3) Payment of travel costs of resident personnel. At the November meeting it was pointed: out that BNL personnel were traveling under different travel policies, and it was agreed that it would be appropriate for BNL to support intra~-island travel expenses for BNL personnel, although these previously had been reimbursed by PASO. In fact, the BNL budget has not been increased to cover these expenses, and the cost of intra-island travel paid for by Brookhaven over two fiscal years is $9,000, including indirect costs. The expenses of the very large survey that was recently completed, and the expenses of the survey that ended last October and were therefore charged to the FY '80 budget’ have not left any funds available for us to pay .Tabershaw or the additicnal expenses that were not foreseen at the time of the original budget submission. The total of $46,000 is much less than we were considering last November, but we will-need that much in addition to our financial plan, in order to close out FY '80 with a balanced budget.
