This report compares various proposed bills in the 93rd Congress related to private pensions plans.

This report is about the subsidy and subsidy-like programs of the U.S Federal Government for the fiscal year 1970-1975.

An elementary description is given of the basic vocabulary and concepts associated with finite difference modeling. The material discussed is biased toward the types of large computer programs used at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory. Particular attention is focused on truncation error and how it can be affected by zoning patterns. The principle of convergence is discussed, and convergence as a tool for improving calculational accuracy and efficiency is emphasized.

Specifications are reported which were developed for several epoxy resins and hardeners used in filament winding. The specifications are concise, aimed at testing convenience, and contain the minimum number of tests necessary to define the material.

This report summarizes selected decision at the State and Federal district court levels and those of the United States Supreme Court which were significant for formulating definitions of what constitutes obscenity.

This report is a projection of the major taxes paid directly by a median-income family for the remainder of the twentieth century.

The space charge detuning of a dc beam due to electrons trapped is shown to be essentially energy independent. This leads to a curvature in the ..nu.. vs p relation. Left uncorrected, this would result in a "brick-wall" instability. It is shown that the strength of octupole field required to correct the curvature increases as the third power of the energy. Thus, large octupole correction coils are needed. The possibility of using stronger sextupole corrections to reduce the octupole requirement is suggested. However, this would mean that the working line would not shrink with energy, and ISABELLE would be required to operate with a tune spread greater than or equal to 0.02 even at 400 GeV.

The DT fusion neutron irradiation of eleven BNL-LASL superconductor wires, six LASL Spinel, Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/, and YAG crystals (two of each), six NRL five 9's crystalline, tetragonal GeO/sub 2/ samples and four LASL-IIT high purity single crystals (MgO, YAG, Spinel and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/) is described. The sample position, beam-on time and neutron dose record are given. The maximum neutron fluence on any sample was 1.87 x 10/sup 16/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/.

The DT fusion neutron irradiation of eleven BNL-LAST superconductor wires, six NRL GeO/sub 2/ crystals, two YAG, two Spinel and two Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ crystals for LASL and four LASL high purity single crystals of MgO, YAG, Spinel and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ is described. The sample position, beam-on time, and neutron dose record are given. The maximum fluence on any sample was 1.51 x 10/sup 16/ neutrons/cm/sup 2/.

Because groundwater movement can have important effects on buried nuclear wastes, hydrologists need to know if future climatic changes will influence the accuracy of groundwater flow calculations. Groundwater recharge (and therefore groundwater flow) depends on surface water balance. (Surface water balance equals precipitation less losses to evaporation, runoff, and storage.) To develop input data for modeling future climatic effects, we have made the following simplifying assumptions: (1) Climate (and therefore water balance) will behave in the future very much as it has in the past. (2) Groundwater recharge responds linearly to precipitation. (3) Future long-term climatic changes can be classified into groups or regimes that are similar to those of the past. Our current research is aimed at providing input data to the Waste Management Program's site suitability task. 16 figures, 1 table.

Weekly report of the Texas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service on turkey poult numbers in Texas and compared with other states. It includes compiled statistics across six consecutive weeks, from the week ending March 31 to the week ending April 28, during 1978 and 1979 for turkey eggs set and poults hatched.
