DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
 

Notice Pursuant to the National Cooperative Research and 
Production Act of 1993--the Precision Laser Machining Technology 
Reinvestment Project

    Notice is hereby given that, on August 24, 1994, pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. 4301 et seq. (``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.

Director of Operations, Antitrust Division.
