Dear Friends!
We are in the process of preparing a proposal to the Transportation
Research Board, National Research Council for the National Cooperative
Highway Research Program.  The guidelines require that we sign a Liability
Statement.  The guidelines state that, "Responses submitted without this
executed and unaltered statement by the response deadline will be summarily
rejected."  We have some problems with the language in the Liability
Statement and believe most, if not all universities, would as well.  Has
anyone submitted a proposal to this program, and have you had any luck
"negotiating" changes to the required statement?  Unfortunately, the
deadline is fast approaching, so a quick response would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,!
Mary Laura Farnham
