If the individual, in responding to Question 15, placed a check mark 

 in boxes 208 or 995, indicating an interest in working with the Corps of 

 Engineers or all Federal government agencies, he/she would be included in 

 the publication. If the individual expressed an interest in working with 

 other groups, and not the Corps of Engineers, or if there was no' expression 

 of interest at all, he/she would not be included in the publication. 



4) Publication of Nine Regional Volumes : Refined estimates of overall 

 directory size showed that the number of pages required to publish the 

 4,000 directory entries would be too many for inclusion in a single volume. 

 It was decided, therefore, to proceed with the publication of nine regional 

 volumes, roughly congruent with the division offices of the Corps of Engineers 

 In order to increase the usefulness of the regional directories, considerable 

 overlap was provided between regions so that an individual would be listed 

 In more than one regional volume. This overlapping regional design makes 

 it easy for all directory users to have the geographically nearest resource 

 persons available in one volume. 



Availability of Supplementary Data 



The survey material published in this directory represents only about 

 50 percent of that contained in TIE's data files (see Figure 2). At the 

 present time the total data in the questionnaires is available in two forms: 



1) In the original survey forms at TIE's Washington, D. C. office; 



2) On computer tapes at the EISO offices at Oak Ridge National 

 laboratory. 



There are three procedures for obtaining further information about the 

 survey's respondents in addition to use of the directory: 



1) Original survey forms may be reviewed through scanning or manual 

 searches . 



2) Resumes for about half of the respondents are available, which 

 provide extensive additional information about publications, educational 

 and work experience. 



3) Total contents of the EDP data files at EISO's offices in Oak 

 Ridge may be queried by a series of sophisticated search programs, in which 

 the user may specify from one to dozens of search variables, individually 

 or in combination. Applications for access to the computer file should be 

 submitted to TIE, which--by terms of its agreement with EISO--will organize 

 groups of searches to relieve EISO of day-to-day responsibility for handling 

 inquiries .
