Thanks for going through the new manuscripts. I was confused when I looked at the folder with the re-submissions.
Thanks for sorting them out.
0051 - We already flagged this one for USD(P) review. We will park this new version and task when we return to the
office.
0058 - This one was stuck in the SECREV PST folder so I couldn't work it. I'll take it. It needs review by several
components. I will park it.
0077 - I'll take this one and talk to Keith about whether he needs to review it.
0078 -1 agree this one needs NSA review. If you can take it and park it, I'd appreciate it.
