Alternative Option 2 ; The record to date of UNESCO management of 

 program area VI. 1 is acceptable. Under these circumstance, a second 

 option for alternative support would be a contribution to UNESCO 

 (Funds-in-Trust, donations, etc.) to cover the current U.S. share of 

 regular program costs, plus 10% overhead. This would total $1,100,000. 

 Augmented support of NGO-sponsored science activities is proposed at a 

 level of $700,000. The total under this option is $1,800,000.
