Although this work is still on going, much of the material has
already been collected. Peter has made available for use on
this website his latest draft summary
brief and many related historic documents. The latest full
briefing is over 430 slides, but has been broken down into several
sections for ease of handling on this website. Many of the
original documents mentioned are available from the list below.
