Comment 1: I recommend that the OLAW NOT adopt these new guidelines as policy. I feel that the 1996 version of the Guide is sufficient and that no substantial changes to the current Guide is warrented or necessary. Comment 2: I believe that, if the 8th edition of the Guide is adopted, full-scale implementation of it should not be required for at least four (4) years (i.e., 2015). The nation, as a whole, is faced with extreme economic difficulties at present, and these new incurred costs will be detrimental to sceintific research.
