24 carnp;gie institution 



for optical research is estimated at $125,000, and its equipment at 

 $30,000. When the laborator}^ is sufficiently advanced and equipped, 

 a third research associate and six research assistants in residence, 

 together with instrument makers, clerks, computers, etc. , .should be 

 appointed. 



With regard to appointments not in residence, your Committee 

 after prolonged and careful consideration, with testimonj', recom- 

 mend that in view of the opportunities of the laboratcrj-, but one 

 permanent research associateship and seven temporary research 

 associateships be established at once. This implies an outlay of 

 $34,000. 



Finally the Committee are of the opinion that $10,000 should be 

 made available for grants. 



The total expenditure for the first year would therefore be 

 $200,000. 



Respectfully submitted.
