the purpose or the Pilot Assay Program was not only enlighte hment on

the facts of sr7° distribution but also to make it possible to be Lter plan
the rull Scale Assay.

On the basis of the data given above from the samples

obtained this fall, it seems possible to develop some tentative c pnclusion about
the direction which the SUNSHINE PROJECT should take in the futur
A.

Who Should Make the Measurements?
The procedure developed is one that is quite simple and requires

relatively little chemical training and only the standard low le
techniques.

The Analytical Method is discussed in Appendix C.

It would seem that groups selected to c ntinue the

particularly should camplete one or two assays in order to become acquainted
