Middle Atlantic area, including the ports of Jacksonville, Savannah,

Tampa operations.

Mr. Mercer began his career with Eller in 1974 as local manager for the Savannah office. Since that time he has held senior management positions within the Middle Atlantic area.

Mr. Flint will continue to be headquartered in Tampa, and Mr.

Mercer in Savannah, with both executives reporting directly to Mr.

Novacek.

Mr. Allen joined MDTSCO in 1982 after serving as center control- ler for the Marshall Space Flight

Center in Huntsville, Ala., for five years. He began his government ser- vice with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1963 as part of the Gemini Program.

The Washington Operations Divi- sion, formerly a component of
