Les, Bill, and other Friends!!..,

I am pleased to find the final report still available, and hope it might answer questions for others. A lot of newer members may not have ever seen this interesting document at all..

Mine IS the one at the site given by Les in his answer earlier. Perhaps any with additional information will come forward again...In fact, the detailed cost analysis is not, then, a part of this Final Report. and there are no fold-outs,..so that material must be in the earlier working report, and would have to be found somewhere else, it appears.????

My Best Regards!!! John (JLAP)
