US Siting Proposal :	    ?		?
-------------------
 1. site properties vs. 
    science need 
    (esp. high frequencies) 
 2. costing of dominant
    siting elements
 3. whitepaper preparation

Implicit Costs:
---------------
Travel + computer/lab resources
needed for development areas


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Costing: 'Y' implies major cost, 'y' implies minor cost, ' ' => low level

** "TDP Priority" reflects the level of work anticipated in the TDP 
    in a particular area.  All areas are important, but only a subset will
    be actively funded in the TDP.  The assumption is that the remaining areas
    are dealt with using other funds or can be deferred to a post-TDP effort.

   These preliminary priorities are from JMC modified by the 18 Sept Telecon.
