with a GB date of 1971. The Penn State Library apparently has the
document, and the catalog entry lists a 1971 date. Searching GB for
"1971" within the volume indicates that some letters or reports within
the document are dated 1971. Searching for "1977" shows snippets of

a future projection, and 1974 is in the future. This document is a
good candidate for examination on paper, I think.
