During April, activities continued in preparation for Tests L6-5 and L3-7, currently scheduled for June 1 and June 23. April activities at the LOFT facility were particularly centered around the installation of new and improved instrumentation. During April, a new baseline budget was established for FY-1980, the third major change this fiscal year. This baseline plan reflects a revised test sequence and dates reflecting test needs (particularly instrumentation), and current funding. Costs to date are in good agreement with the current budgets and the authorized funding levels. During April, a revised budget was proposed for FY-1981 and a new budget was proposed for FY-1982. These budgets and their assumptions were presented to NRC in mid-year reviews and important decision elements were identified. A reorganization of the LOFT personnel was announced this month. The LOFT Experimental Program Division was replaced with the LOFT Program Division, managed by Dr. C. W. Solbrig, and with the LOFT Measurements Division, managed by D. J. Hanson
