    be held in the Koshland Science Museum at the National Academy of
    Sciences located in NW Washington during the evening hours of
    6:00pm-7:30pm on 8/4/05. This training last year cost approximately
    \$2,400.00.

    -   This includes coordinating refreshments for the reception with
        the Koshland caterer

-   Provide training reimbursement to an outside organization that is
    coordinating the programming for this course. This programming
    service includes curriculum development within this program. The fee
    last year for this essential component was \$10,600.00 for the

    working on the current upcoming proposal but feel this new figure
    will be less than the charges from last year.
