AS OF 3/23/70. EVALUATES OVERALL PROJECT PERFORMANCE AND PERFORMANCE OF CONTRACTOR, UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON. PROGRSS WAS MADE IN ALL ACTIVITIES AND THERE IS NO CURRENT WEAKNESS IN THE PROGRAM. LIMITATION OF FUNDS, PERSONNEL CEILINGS AND DIFFICULTIES IN RECRUITEMNT PREVENTED ASSIGNMENT OF SOME LONG-TERM PROFESSORS. HOWEVER, CONTRACTOR TRIED FAIRLY SUCCESSFULLY TO PROVIDE SHORT-TERM CONSULTANTS REQUESTED IN FIELDS NOT COVERED BY LONG-TERM ASSIGNMENTS. PAR RECOMMENDS FUTURE ASSISTANCE DIRECTED TOWARD RESEARCH AND PERFORMING SERVICES TO INDUSTRY AND OTHER ORGANIZATIONS. NEW PROPOSAL FOR ASSISTANCE WAS RECEIVED FROM COPPE (ENGINEERING PROGRAM AT UNIVERSITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO) IN AREAS OF TRANSPORTATION, POWER GENERATION, DISTRIBUTION, AND CONTROL, INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION HANDLING. PUC (PONTIFICAL UNIVERSITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO) IS ALSO FORMULATING NEW REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE. ALL FOREIGN INPUTS TO COPPE TOTALLED LESS THAN 1/4 OF ITS OPERATING EXPENSES AND U.S. CONTRIBUTION WAS BUT A SMALL FRACTION OF THAT. MAJORITY OF ITS SUPPORT CAME FROM NATIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BANK, NATIONAL RESEARCH COUNCIL, COORDINATION FOR IMPROVEMENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND BRAZILIAN INDUSTRY.
