[CAUT] NASM Standards

[Alan McCoy]

Thanks for the info David. We here at EWU are going to be going through this
process next year so I am also curious about what the technician's
responsibilities are in this regard. And it does sound like something the
CAUT committee might want to think about.

What say you committee?
