The on-site management organization is shown in Figure 2. Because of changing 

 requirements and personnel rotation, it was necessary that assigned responsi- 

 bilities and even the structure of the organization remain flexible. The major 

 functions were the same throughout, but the degree of responsibility and over- 

 lap shifted depending upon the particular individuals on site at any given 

 time. For these reasons, only organizational responsibility is identified in 

 many cases in Figure 2, 



The names shown are those whose responsibilities remained constant even though 

 they may not have been on site the whole time and were represented by others 

 from their own organization.
