1 So, I think for both, both of you need to--before you let 



2 everybody out of this room--find out who is helping you write these 



3 various paragraphs. 



Can we tell who is helping us? 

 Far be it from me to restrict you from doing that. 

 Dick, John, Nancy, Jim, if everybody writes a 



7 paragraph, I'll look over it. Fred? Fred is head of the biological 



8 session. I think we'll let him take over now. I've assembled your team 



9 for you. 



10 DR. AURAND: Brad, you need to do the same thing, point people out 



11 and, no, MMS is not writing this. 



12 DR. BUTMAN: I guess I don't see it is appropriate to write 



13 something about the discussion that we had. 



14 DR. AURAND: No, you are going to write the introductory material. 



15 You are trying to write about this is what you think is special about 



16 the biological communities or the characteristics that we think are 



17 important, and the same thing for the physical environment. 



18 The up-front introductory material, that's what you are trying to 



19 write. 



20 DR. BUTMAN: These are the 100-word paragraphs. 



21 DR. TEAL: The people who gave presentations yesterday also need 



22 to write their 100-word paragraphs. 



23 DR. BOTHNER: Sometimes, they overlap, don't they? I mean, the 



24 topics that Brad listed is sort of an abstract of the abstracts, but it 



25 is the layman's summary of what we need to present in the introductory 



26 paragraphs. 



27 DR. AURAND: I think it would be an excellent idea to put the 



28 charts back up and put the names next to the various sections. 



29 DR. BUTMAN: Page, you write a paragraph on the topographic 



30 environments, the first thing I had on that list about why canyons are 



31 unique--sort of the topography and what is important about those. 



32 I'll write a paragraph about the currents. What else was on 



33 there--topography, currents.
