051001 - Steve left message he has been unable to get approval for a quote from
051002 - anyone at Turner, per ref SDS 13 line 104, and call at ref SDS 15 line
051003 - 95.
051004 -
051005 - Steve has received the agenda for Asilomar, per my call at ref SDS 15
051006 - line 95, He is concerned about the following:
051007 -
051008 -     •  He feels the Asilomar agenda does not reflect Turner's scope,
051009 -        per understandings at ref SDS 7 line 196, discussions on
051010 -        951116, ref SDS 3 line 251, 960125 ref SDS 5 line 107, and
051011 -        960405, ref SDS 6 line 159.
051012 -
051013 -     •  The agenda fails to cite Turner's team, which was submitted by
051014 -        Turner in the meeting 951116, and confirmed by Steve with his
051015 -        submittal of biographies, ref DRP 2 line 19.
051016 -
051017 -     •  He asks about facilities for Turner at Asilomar, but called
051018 -        back and said he found this information in the materials
051019 -        received from PMI.
051020 -
051021 -     •  Steve wants a sample of a paper from last year, so he can see
051022 -        how long to make Turner's paper.
051023 -
051024 -          I can submit the papers from the 1990 Asilomar, ref SDS 1
051025 -          line 261.
051026 -
051027 -     These concerns reflect issues Bill is raising with the Asilomar
