The OST has submitted a report to the Congress that recommends,
in the context of a general attack on supercomputer technology
and the use of such in science, a three phase recommendation
for advanced networking. What you are refering to is Phase Three.

I suggest you call Steve WOlff of the NSF (steve@note.nsf.gov)
for info on how to get the report (when it is officially released--
that may be now).
