ordered. Reasons: Each foreign instrument is a conventional 
transmission electron microscope (CTEM) and is intended for research or 
scientific educational uses requiring a CTEM. We know of no CTEM, or 
any other instrument suited to these purposes, which was being 
manufactured in the United States at the time of order of each 
instrument.
