It is further recommended that the Executive Commiittee be com- 

 posed of three people actively involved in the IDOE Effects of Pollut- 

 ants on Marine Organisms Program and one person, appointed by the 

 IDOE office, actively involved in similar research but not a part of 

 this program. The three members from the Program should be elected 

 by the principal investigators of active grants. All members should be 

 appointed for two-year terms, except two of the initial four members 

 should be appointed to three-year terms. The Program Manager for 

 Environmental Quality at IDOE and his immediate predecessor should 

 be ex-officio members of the Executive Committee. One member of 

 the Committee should be elected Chairman by the Committee mem- 

 bers. 



The Executive Committee should have an administrative system to 

 provide travel, communication, secretarial assistance, etc.. for various 

 functions outlined above. The administrative function should be lo- 

 cated with the Chairman of the Executive Committee. It should be 

 recognized that this is an internal committee and does not serve to 

 provide IDOE with external advice.
