purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting the recovery of 
antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified circumstances.
    Specifically, the following have become members to the venture:

1995.

activity of the Consortium. Membership remains open and the Consortium 
intends to file additional written notifications disclosing all changes 
in membership.
