    Notice is hereby given that, on October 2, 1997, pursuant to 
Section 6(a) of the National Cooperative Research and Production Act of 
1993, 15 U.S.C. Sec. 4301 et seq. (``the Act''), Caterpillar Inc. filed 
notifications simultaneously with the Attorney General and the Federal 
Trade Commission disclosing a change in membership of a joint venture

member of the joint venture.
    No other changes have been made in either the membership or planned 
activity of the joint venture. Membership remains open and Advanced 
Structures intends to file additional written notifications disclosing 
all changes in membership.

notification pursuant to Section 6(a) of the Act.
