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,

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.
