accessories TDH has authorized these additional funds during the current grant contract period
under the provision that the funds required for the purchase of equipment and accessories must
be expended or encumbered before expiration of the contract on December 31, 1996 The
contract addendum has not yet arrived for execution, however, due to the time constraints
placed upon the receipt and utilization of funds, TDH has sent a letter documenting their intent
to issue the contract addendum and an approved revised contract budget authorization form
Authorization to accept these additional funds will allow the TB program's transition from a
manual client data system to a computerized system The Centers for Disease Control and

standardize data collection and reporting activities This database software is being provided to
state and local health .departments free of charge TDH has approved this contract addendum

throughout the state, to purchase necessary computer equipment and accessories to upgrade
its computer capabilities and pilot the CDC database

equipment and accessories Therefore, indirect costs are not applicable .
