    more new thinking. Shortness of time and resources has prevented much attention to how things might be done differently. There has been criticism of the SRS over the years and especially of late. Few sing its praises. I would like to conclude by singing a note or two. Much of what we know about S&E labor markets is in consequence of the STPDS. There is no substitute for the informa- tion that they provide. In a paper I have reviewed the content of the principal personnel survey instrument and find it laudable in many regards. Data from that effort has been extremely valuable in appraising the ability and costs to S&E workers in shifting jobs. That data set has also provided significant inputs for modeling the supply system. There is a long way to go, but, let us not forget what has been accomplished. Thank you.
