WRD Memorandum No. 99.09--WRD International Program 1999 Date: Mon, 14 Jun 1999 14:24:16 -0400 From: JohnKarl BohlkeReply-To: "Johnkarl F Bohlke, Hydrologist, Reston, VA " Organization: USGS To: "Catherine L Hill, ACH/Operations, Reston, VA" CC: E - All WRD Employees , "Verne R Schneider, Chief, Intl Water Resources Br, Reston, VA" , "Anna M Lenox, Deputy Chief,Intl Water Res Br, Reston, VA" , " WRD Archive File," , "Carole Nethaway, Secretary (OA), Reston, VA" , "Katherine M Long, Office Automation Clerk, Reston, VA" , "Alice C Dilandro, Secretary (S), Reston, VA" Subject: Re: WRD Memorandum No. 99.09--WRD International Program 1999 Cathy and others- Permission to attend a recent meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (Vienna, Austria) was limited to 5 people; at least one of those people decided shortly before the meeting not to go, so I believe only 4 people actually went. I wonder if there is some movement to change the 5-person approval rule for international meetings to permit better international collaboration, especially in view of the fact that individuals' plans can change over the long lead time called for by the approval process. Thanks. JK Bohlke WRD, NRP, Reston x6325
