Green Team. And this was an attempt to recognize<br />

that there are not just the critical systems that we<br />

need to worry about and where there are<br />

opportunities, but there are also side issues.<br />

There are water issues. There are material issues.<br />

There are indoor air quality issues.<br />

And there is an awful lot <strong>of</strong> work that we<br />

need to tap into and that we can contribute to in<br />

terms <strong>of</strong> research and development. And I asked<br />

Donna McIntire, with some assistance from Melanie<br />

Burkmeyer (ph.), both project architects in my<br />

division, to get together an internal council <strong>of</strong><br />

multi-discipline folks to structure themselves<br />

roughly around the major components that are part <strong>of</strong><br />

the lead scoring system and to focus in their areas,<br />

but also in a collegial way, find ways to integrate<br />

their findings in a larger hole. And that's what<br />

Donna is going to talk to you more about now. How<br />

those individual's teams are working and what kinds<br />

<strong>of</strong> initiatives they've come up with in the last few<br />

years.<br />

MS. McINTIRE: Great. Thank, Bill.<br />

GENERAL WILLIAMS: Thanks, Bill.<br />

MS. McINTIRE: Hi. Donna McIntire. And I<br />

wanted to thank first our panel members, Suman Sorg,<br />
