 Fred Houston works on E.A. but too late for implementation in I99j 



1995- April, Public meetings, proposal and preferred alternative explained but public comment not allowed, 

 information meeting only 



Deadline for wntten comments-May 1 



GROGA insists that it is hard to comment on E.A recommendations without knowing how recommendations 



will be managed 



F.S. response-GROGA submit proposal 



April 28 & 29, Dennis Breer and Herald Egbert meet and put together a proposal and get GROGA 



membership approval before May I deadline 



May I , GROGA submits proposal 



May 1 . 0/G submit letters of comment individually on E.A. 



June- Denms Breer and Fred Houston meet-Fred says parts of proposal accepted, which parts? Will it work if 



only part is used? 



Actual written F.S. proposal never seen 



September, Fred informs GROGA- will have to operate under 2440 System in 1996 



No E.A., No Prospectus 



No written response to written comments or proposals, only rumors 



O/G continue under 2440 System 



December, F.S 0/G meeting, concerns expressed by F.S. about E.A. GROGA has not seen 



recommendations and now doubt if our proposal is workable, in our haste in April, some things were not well 



thought through. Our concern is that we don't set ourselves up with another version of the 2440 system. 



GROGA requests to see E.A. and recommendations as written now. 



1996- January, 0/G and FS. meet to work on E.A. 

 No E.A. 



0/G continue under 2440 System (diis system originally set up for one or two years max.) Appendix S good 

 and bad of the 2440 System 



January to present, approximately every two weeks we are told the E.A will be out ui a couple of weeks, any 

 ds^ now, still no E.A. 



This is only a hasty summary often years of frustrations. We are still working under a system of use 

 allocation made up in someone's office in a couple of hours that was meant as only a temporary, stopgap measi 



The 2440 System did not work well then and hasn't improved ten years later.
