5 was created in 1998 to provide advice and recommendations on key programmatic, technical, and administrative issues affecting the success of the Integration Project. This group has been meeting quarterly and has issued several reports that address various aspects of the integration effort at the site.6 In addition, the Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management requested that the National Research Council review the science and technology S&T program established under the auspices of the Integration Project as called for by the third program objective.
