REVIEW AND UPDATE SCHEDULES. Each scheduler will present and update their respective ship(s) schedule and cost information. Viewgraph(s) for this presentation are recommended.
IDENTIFY CONFLICTS AND UNSOLVED ISSUES. There will be a discussion on cruises not scheduled and those double booked. (Note: We will attempt to account for all cruises on the inventory list distributed by Jack Bash).
AGENCY PRESENTATIONS. Representatives from NSF, ONR and NOAA will provide scheduling guidance, science program ship requirements and priorities, science funding decisions, ship ops funding outlook and related matters for the 1996 scheduling year.
COSTS. The UNOLS Office will provide a summary of cost figures.
GENERAL DISCUSSION. Electronic communications - how can we better use e-mail, gopher and the wide world web to enchance scheduling efficiency?
PRE-MEETING ACTION. All ship's schedules should be posted on OCEANIC. Cost figures in the following format for both 1995 and 1996 should be passed to the UNOLS Office no later than 5 Sep '95.

| Ship $K | |||
| 1996 | NSF NAVY | OTHER | TOTAL |

Costs for 1995 should be your latest projection, and consistent with your last negotiation with NSF and/or ONR. Costs for 1996 should be realistic estimates.
