Th* principal ir.vtsticAtors would b« rasponsibl* «or 

 axpcr.dituris en thair particular projacts, and would hava !re«d:- 

 to transfar funds ar.ong bud^at cata^orias as raquired. Wi^h 

 nutual eor.sant of t.'-.a principal invastijators involvad, Jvir.ds 

 could ta tra.-.sfarrad bafvean projects. Howavar, all axpe.-.di;-r*s 

 would ba r.ada in cospliance with t>.« applicabla stata and Vnivsr- 

 sity rulas of Colorado or Hawaii, as ralevant. 



T>.a consulting and review panel will be cor.posed of scientists 



rutuall/ acceptable to the investigators and to Or. Willim 

 Gardner. After a period of apprcxinately 13 months, a aeetin? 

 of the consulting and rsview panel will be convened to evaluate 

 progress of the projects and to r.ake recor.Tiendations to the 

 grantors concerning continuation of support. Zn the case of a 

 reco.r.-aendation to discontinue a project, f-ur.ds for phasing out 

 the operations will be continued at least in ar.ount sufficient to 

 r.eet staff personnel obligations for a period up to an additional 

 six .T.onths, depending on the ter-a of er.plo>"nent. 



Assu.-ning that obligations have been undertaken to cr.ploy 

 staff through the full second year, the a.-ount of savings fron 

 the second year budget that would be nade by ter^Mnation of data 

 collection and analysis after 13 -cnths would be apprcxi.T.ately is 



follows: 



Hawaii study — $32,076 



Half sib-f./i.T study — 530,737 



Ani.-nal study — $27, 268 



If obligations are underta!cen only to provide 60-day notice 

 of termination of er.oloyrent, then additional savings in the 

 anounts of $7,400, $5,0C0 and $40,000, respectively night be r.ads. 



If the circu-T.stances are such as to warrant a conti.-.uation 

 of data collection and analysis during the phase out period, a 

 nerctiated aT.O'unt not to exceed the budgeted a.-ount for the next 

 Sii r.onths, but with a longer tir.e li.-it for expenditure, ••ill cs 

 Tide available. 



In the event of favorable rsrc.-.-.endation at the ti.-e ci C 

 evaluation, research suttort ./ill be continued, and a saco-.i .,: 

 evaluation r.eetiT-.g will be held approxi.ratel/ at the end of 27 

 -o-ths. The purpose of this r.eeting will be to evaluate progress 

 ind to na;;e recor.r.endations regarding f-unding for th« fourth and 

 fifth years of the study. 



I an anxious to know if the above is an accurate su.T.Tiary of 

 th« principal points of our discussions. 



Sincerely,
