Susiect: Policy Question of ACME Rates

Dr. Linus Pauling's research group in the Department of Chemistry has
recently become a user of ACME service. In the near term his group
expects to be collecting gas chromatograph data in real time on ACME.
Their project is sponsored by the National Institutes of Mental Health.

The question is whether the special subsidized ACME rates should be
fe applied to medical research performed by groups outside of the Medical
School. I recommend that Dr. Pavling's group be granted a rate of
1¢ per pageminute. This is the rate which would normally be applied
to medical research performed within the Medical School. It is double
fe sf the rate charged to real time medical research performed by groups
within the Medical School.

In this case it is clear that Dr. Pauling's research is medical in
nature. He is collecting urine samples from mental hospitals and locking
for attributes which may be unique to schizophrenic patients.

I would appreciate your comments on the proposed rate of 1¢ per page-
minute for Dr. Pauling's group.
