3. The CIPC principals have reviewed and discussed the study-and its
recommendations. They have enthusiastically approved its conclusions and
recommendations and have already implemented some of the recommendations that
fall within their respective areas of responsibility.
4. It is therefore recommended that you approve the study for NFIC

t
on a
an early date.
5. Additionally, the committee concluded that this particular study made
a very technical subject intelligible to the non-specialist and recommended
that it be sanitized for broad distribution. In view of this committee
recommendation, we are presently developing version study for
distribution subsequent to your approval of the basic study.
