Lenox, Chief, International Water Resources Program Subject: MEETING ATTENDANCE RESPONSE REQUIRED BY FEBRUARY 27, 1996 The U.S. Geological Survey is compiling a list of persons who plan to participate in either of the following meetings during the Fourth Quarter of this fiscal year: (a) The 30th International Geological Congress, August 4-14, 1996, Beijing, China (b) The USA/CIS Third Joint Conference on Environmental Hydrology and Hydrogeology, September 22-27, 1996, Tashkent, Uzbekistan. If you anticipate travel to attend either of the above meetings, please provide the following information to for_trav IMMEDIATELY: a. Purpose of attendance (present paper, poster, chair session, keynote address, etc.) Provide name of paper, session to be chaired, etc. b. Source of funding for travel (transportation, M&IE, salary). Provide specific, DETAILED information, regarding both source and amount of funding. c. Has supervisory approval been granted? We believe that a substantial number of USGS employees may plan to attend one of the meetings listed above and, if so, approval will be required from the Assistant Secretary for Water and Science. As is true for participation by substantial numbers of people in any large international meeting, advance planning is critical to a successful approval process. Responses received by this office will be consolidated into the Bureau listing for submission to appropriate approving authorities. PLEASE NOTE: Approval for participation in either meeting ALSO should be requested through normal channels in response to the regular Fourth Quarter Meeting Request (due this office by cob March 8). As is customary, a solid justification for the travel and funding from a source other than the USGS will be the best assurance for approval. If you have questions, please contact anyone on the IWRP staff. ############################## Lory Severin International Water Resources Program tel. 703-648-6686 fax 703-648-6687 or 5295 Internet: lseverin@usgs.gov ##############################
