 <<Working Group E Report - Harmonized Draft.doc>>  <<Working Group E Report
- Harmonized Draft - text file.rtf>> Chon/Josh,

I took a crack at harmonizing the different parts of the WG-E reports.  I
structured the document following the outline of the original charter for
WG-E.  I integrated the Part 2 report written by Zita and myself along with
the Part 3 and Part 4 reports written by Chon.
Note that some summary information needs to be added at the end regarding
working group activities.
Please feel free to critique this openly.
I am attaching a Word version and a text version of the file.  The second
one was saved as a text file.
Chuck
