(``the Act''), TRW Inc., on behalf of members of the Precision Machining Technology Reinvestment Project (``PLM TRP''), filed notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission disclosing (1) the identities of the parties to and (2) the nature and objectives of the project. The notifications were filed for the purpose of invoking the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances. Pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act, the identities of the parties are: TRW Inc., Redondo Beach, CA; The Boeing Company, Seattle, WA; Caterpillar Inc., Mossville, IL; Cummins Engine Company, Inc., Columbus, IN; Edison Welding Institute, Columbus, OH; Fibertek, Inc., Herndon, VA; General Electric Aircraft Engines, Cincinnati, OH; General Electric CRD, Schenectady, NY; Hughes Aircraft Company, Malibu, CA; the University of Illinois, Champaign, IL; Newport News Shipbuilding, Newport News, VA; Northrup Corporation, Electronics Systems Division, Hawthorne, CA; Penn State University, State College, PA; Process Equipment Company, Tipp City, OH; SDL, Inc., San Jose, CA; United Technologies Corporation, East Hartford, CT; and Utilase Systems, Inc., Detroit, MI. The objective of PLM TRP is to provide the most advanced and affordable US military systems, and the most competitive commercial products in the global marketplace for the automotive, aerospace (platforms and propulsion systems), heavy equipment, and shipbuilding industries through a new generation of laser machine tools and advanced laser manufacturing processes. To accomplish this objective, a consortium of industrial laser users, process developers, system integrators, and technology developers has been established forming a fully integrated team. This will avoid inefficient duplication of effort and expense while performing research in this area, collection, exchange and, where appropriate, dissemination of the research results, to work closely with various governmental and private agencies and perform further acts allowed by the Act that would advance the PLM TRP's objectives. Membership in PLM TRP remains open, and TRW intends to file additional written notifications disclosing all changes in membership. Information regarding participation in the project may be obtained from: Dr. Leonard J. Marabella, Bldg. R1/1196, One Space Park, Redondo Beach, CA 90278. Constance K.
