A first entry could be the following: "Question: · What topics do preliminary assessments suggest are most important, given their hypothesized effects, the consequences thereof and their probabilities of occurrence ? "Program · Perform initial cost/benefit analyses to determine the broad divi Response: sion of effort among the project's major elements.

... have affected the administration and management of AEAP. The recent assignment of a dedicated on-site AEAP manager is a positive step, but for optimum scientific progress PAEAN recommends that the responsibility and authority for relating and integrating all scientific and technological aspects of SASS be vested in a permanently assigned, experienced person, who can ensure that the disposition of research resources properly reflects program priorities.

... RECOMMENDATION NO. 2: Give SASS strong scientific leadership Determining the atmospheric effects of aviation is extremely difficult and controversial, from the standpoint of both the science involved and the finite resources available to address a scientific and technological problem that is virtually unbounded.

... Although AEAP has been very fortunate in its Project Scientists, the current arrangement of a two-year tour for a relatively young scientist gives the job the appearance of a senior internship. Someone with the qualifications outlined above could dramatically affect the project through sharing with the Project Manager significant authority, responsibility, and accountability in program planning, resource allocation, overall execution, and measurable results.
