NEXT STEPS<br />

As a first priority, we will complete the “New Mousetrap” project currently under way and<br />

will continue to explore infrastructure issues regarding the possible implementation of a<br />

computer-based DLAB in the MEPS. Simultaneously, we will be designing proposals for<br />

studies which should be done in the short term to address selected aspects of the various<br />

recommendations that are synthesized above. We will also be developing a longer-range<br />

research agenda and submitting proposals to appropriate research centers within the<br />

Government.<br />
