     US CONTRIBUTION ON SC WORK PROGRAM MANAGEMENT

In accordance with the Urgent Request contained in JTC 1 SC22 
N 2228, the US National Body committee responsible for SC22 
(SC22 TAG) recently reviewed the Program of Work of SC22.  In 
conducting this review, the SC22 TAG made the following assumptions:

For projects were there was no active development (or revision) at present,  
the US response is based on if the US would participate in a maintenance 
or revision activity.

For projects where the US is not presently participating in the development, 
the US determined its response based on commercial interest by a US 
based concern in the activity.  In other words, if there is a supplier or a 
consumer of the standard, or products based on the standard, the US 
indicated the project should be pursued.

The US NB is actively participating and providing resources to all of SC22's 
projects, except as noted in the following 2 lists:

The US believes the following projects should be pursued, but is not 
participating in the development:
