Harris Semiconductor published a paper on the web about reliability 
     considerations for using PEMs in military applications.  It had some 
     reliability test results for components.  You can access this report 
     as well as others at http://rel.semi.harris.com/
     
     I am trying to determine the best way to package VME boards populated 
     with PEM components for long term storage (>15 years).  Any ideas 
     would be appreciated.
     
     Thanks,

     We are looking for literature on reliability issues and failure modes 
     of plastic packages (non-hermetic).  Can you steer us toward any IPC 
     literature on that issue?
     
     Thanks.
