SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title of project is ``International 
Conference on the Adequacy of Commitments Under the Framework 
Convention on Climate Change''. The purpose of this conference is to 
continue dialogue on the process to strengthen these commitments, 
similar to the ones previously held on joint implementation and on 
policy guidance from the Conference of the Parties (COP). The first 
meeting of the COP to the United Nations Framework Convention on 
Climate Change (FCCC) was held on March/April 1995 in Berlin. The 
Berlin Mandate concluded that current commitments under the FCCC are 
inadequate to meet the Convention's ultimate objective. It established 
a two year negotiating process to strengthen the specific commitments 
of industrialized countries and further implement the existing general 
commitments of developing countries. This process is authorized to 
elaborate policies and measures which could limit or reduce greenhouse 
gas emissions as well as set quantified limitation and reducing 
objectives within specified time-frames for the period beyond the year 
limitation and reducing objectives within specified time-frames for the 
period beyond the year 2000. The objective of this conference will be 
to have informal discussions among the key constituents of the Parties 
to the Climate Change Convention on the subject of the adequacy of 
commitments.
    The probability of achieving this objective is significant 
considering the experienced background of the project director, Dr. 
Kilaparti Ramakrishna, and the facilities of the grantee are adequate 
for the purpose of achieving the stated objectives.
