Justification for the specific reference:
|
|
|
It is desired to include this material by reference rather than incorporation for the following reasons:
a. Due to the complexity of the material and it's relationship to material in other clauses of the referenced document. While this material is extensive, it is only a portion of a large document. Having the material in context will aid in understanding.
b. It is anticipated that there will be copyright difficulties with including the full text of the referenced material.
