Several MAPP references have been corrected in citing the proper sections. Please note that all signatures and certifications must be properly completed for administrative review/processing, or the contract will be held until the deficiency is corrected. Please direct your questions to Marlon Garcia, Contracts Manager, or myself. An additional training session for MAPP 04.04.01A will be forthcoming, and will be announced by separate transmittal.

Also added is a revised OGC Form No. S-2002-3 -- Speaker Agreement.
