Institute (``SwRI'') has filed written notifications simultaneously
with the Attorney General and with the Federal Trade Commission
disclosing a change in its membership and performance date in its
cooperative research project known as ``Joint Industry Program--
Development of an Instrument for Corrosion Detection in Insulated Pipes
Using a Magnetostrictive Sensor,'' or ``JIP''. The notifications were
filed for the purpose of extending the Act's provisions limiting the
recovery of antitrust plaintiffs to actual damages under specified
circumstances. Specifically, three new participants have joined the
cooperative research project: CTI Alaska, Inc., Anchorage, AK; Gas
Research Institute, Chicago, IL; and Mitsubishi Chemical Engineering
Corporation, Tokyo, Japan. In addition, Southwest Research Institute,
San Antonio, TX, has been a participant in JIP since the inception of
the project, but was inadvertently not noted as such in the original
and succeeding notifications. Also, participant Texaco, Inc., and
Electric Power Research

agreed to extend the original twelve (12) month period of performance
and revise the project completion date to December 31, 1997.

or the membership of the project. Membership in this group research
project remains open and SwRI intends to file additional written
notification disclosing all changes in membership.
On October 25, 1995, SwRI (Joint Industry Program, JIP) filed its
original notification pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Act. The
Department of Justice published a notice in the Federal Register
pursuant to Section 6(b) of the Act on February 23, 1996 (61 FR 7020).

A notice was published in the Federal Register pursuant to Section 6(b)
