All TechNet subscribers.
Please forward this message on to interested parties. This is an exciting
opportunity for our industry. The electronics interconnection industry is part of
the microelectronics manufacturing infrastructure focused program, and thus can avail
itself of significant government funding available for R&D. Proposed programs are
now being solicited. A number of public meetings have been scheduled to explain how
the proposal submission process works.

98-06 focused program.
Multiple locations for the public meetings and briefings are being

for information about other upcoming MMI public meetings.
A total estimated $82 million in first year funding is available for new awards for
all of the fiscal year 1998 ATP competitions (approximately eight to ten). The actual
number of proposals funded under each competition will depend on the quality of the
proposals received and the amount of funding requested in the highest ranked
proposals. Outyear funding beyond the first year is contingent on the approval of
future Congressional appropriations and satisfactory project performance.
