The National Research Council Committee on Past and Present Contexts
for the Use of Ada in the Department of Defense made the following 
recommendations to DoD today:

	1.  Require Ada for DoD warfighting software;

	2.  Drop Ada requirement for other DoD software;

	3.  Invest $15M/year for Ada infrastructure - or drop
		Ada requirement entirely;

	4.  Embed programming language decisions into a Software
		Engineering Plan Review process.

The panel will provide a formal written report detailing its
recommendations and rationale to the DoD in the near future.
