On 25 October 1977, DOE representatives met with DOI, DNA and OMB in an attempt to finally
resolve the funding problem. Having reviewed the above-mentioned notebook, the group heard
additional arguments from both DOE and DNA, the most telling of which was the reading by the
Director, DNA, of a telegram from the former Director stating categorically that Dr. Liverman had
acknowledged DOE (then AEC) responsibility for funding radiological support (Hollister, 1977). On
the same day, subsequent to the meeting, OMB representatives advised by telephone that DOE would
be expected to fund the program by reprogramming in FY 78 and should budget for it in FY 79. Thus
the $1.5 million ceiling on DNA funding became a firm limitation, and DOE became committed to a
total obligation of over $3.5 million over the life of the project.
Tabulated below are the actual costs, exclusive of salary, travel and office costs of DOE/NV staff
participants.
