1 DR. TEAL: Okay. That I don't object to. I still object to "very 



2 unique." 



3 MR. LANE: As a category of biological habitat, sure, we use the 



4 term "special environment," but in the same sense that coral reefs are 



5 unique, even though there are many coral reefs. Let's define that 



6 usage. 



7 DR. TEAL: I think that your idea of a paragraph on each one of 



8 these to explain your three words, as long as the paragraph doesn't have 



9 more than about a 100 words in it and the people who talked about those 



10 things yesterday, if they could put a 100 words down, that would say 



11 what that means, then that is an enormous step forward in making a 



12 valuable document. 



13 It is hard to do. It is much harder to write something in a 100 



14 words than in 500 or 10,000, but then the people who know most about it 



15 in the world, I mean, you are sitting here. If you can't do it, no one 



16 can. 



17 DR. COOPER: We are a very unique group. 



18 (Laughter) 



19 DR. AURAND: I think that is a very reasonable idea. I think, at 



20 some point, and I don't know where, but to have the people who are 



21 concerned with each one of those--it doesn't have to be one; it could be 



22 a group, depending on the topic--write the paragraph and then bring it 



23 back for everybody to look at. 



24 DR. BUTMAN: It would be nice, also, if we could have, because we 



25 are all scientists, I'd like to see references in there, not necessarily 



26 in this document. But I'd like to see those paragraphs backed up with 



27 what data we are using to support that. 



28 DR. AURAND: Actually, that's an interesting comment because when 



29 I was looking through this last night, I was giving some thought to 



30 that, too. 



31 It would be nice if there were references associated with all of 



32 this. I don't know what provision Bob and Jim had thought about with 



33 that, but there probably needs to be some way to track that.
