This report provides an assessment of Supreme Court cases from the 1983-85 Term that involve issues involving the free exercise of religion. It provides a detailed review of the case Lynch v. Donnelly, and brief descriptions of twelve other cases that have not been reviewed.

Our experimental approach focuses on the use of enzymes which catalyze the addition of oxygen to organic compounds., In tailoring the application of these enzymes to coal processing, we are particularly interested in ensuring that oxidation occurs at sulfur and not at carbon-carbon bonds. Previous studies with DBT have shown that the reaction most frequently observed in microbial oxidative pathways is one in which DBT is oxidized at ring carbons. These reactions, as we have said, are accompanied by a considerable decrease in the energy content of the compound. In addition, microbial pathways have been identified in which the sulfur atom is sequentially oxidized to sulfoxide, to sulfone, to sulfonate, and finally to sulfuric acid. In this case, the fuel value of the desulfurized compounds is largely retained. We are evaluating the potential of commercially available enzymes to perform this function.

This report provides a look at the history of educational technology, including both successful and unsuccessful government and private enterprise projects during the past three decades. The report examines trends in technological factors and new technologies that will influence development of innovative educational hardware and software during the next five years.

This paper presents a general overview of congressional office procedures associated with handling casework, and the assistance provided by a Member of Congress to help constituents in their dealings with Federal agencies. It discusses options for assisting Member's constituents, and the role of staff and Members in providing casework services.

We summarize the accomplishments of the first full year's operation of the Colorado School of Mines low energy nuclear physics project utilizing the General Ionex Model 1545 low energy, high current particle accelerator. The projects which we have completed which were explicity included in the original contract proposal include the measurement of the gamma ray branching ratios of the p + /sup 6/Li, p + /sup 7/Li, and p + /sup 11/B reactions as well as the absolute yield of the reaction /sup 9/Be(p,..gamma..)/sup 10/B between proton laboratory energies of about 40 to 180 keV. in the course of these measurements we have demonstrated the associated gamma ray technique for Germanium detector efficiency calibration at gamma ray energies up to 12 MeV using very low energy proton beams. We have, in addition, pursued a fairly comprehensive investigation of an extremely interesting and totally surprising phenomenon in which we see a yield of the d-d fusion reaction during bombardment of deuterated polyethylene by light to medium ion and molecular beams which is greatly enhanced over the yield expected from a straight-forward secondary ion reaction calculation. This enhanced yield is seen to correlate with the beam line pressure, suggesting target heating effects …

This discussion will consider a number of points relevant to limitations, advantages and disadvantages of various arrangements of bunches in the Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The considerations discussed here will be limited to: (a) bunch spacing symmetry and relation to the relative luminosity at B0 and D0 and the beam-beam interaction with separated beams; (b) bunch spacing constraints imposed by Main Ring RF coalescing and the optics of beam separation at B0 and D0; and (c) bunch spacing constraints imposed by injection and abort kicker timing requirements, and by the Antiproton Source RF unstacking process. 20 figs., 17 tabs.

This report discusses the MX Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM),which is designed to be the most lethal strategic ballistic missile in the world. The missile was developed by the U.S. Air Force to augment the capabilities of the presently deployed ICBM force, which together with Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBMs) and manned strategic bomber aircraft form the triad of U.S. strategic nuclear offensive forces.
