 interruption, or delay in normal career development patterns--such

 future promotion and assignment potential.    I  have been assured,

 of permanent or temporary injury  (including physical, psychological
 and/or  damage  to  participants.' reputation)  to project  personnel
 beyond risks to which they would ordinarily be exposed      in their
 daily lives, the potential for :injury during some training cannot be
 conclusively ruled out.
