                 represent only 10\% of those currently employed as
                 scientists. Recognizing the underutilized scientific
                 resource that women represent the congress of the
                 United States directed the National Science Foundation
                 to make available not less than \$1,500,000 to develop
                 and test methods of increasing the flow of women into
                 scientific careers. (Public Law 94-80, 1976) To carry
                 out this mandate, NSF sent out a call for proposals in
                 early 1976. The proposals were to be of two kinds: (1)
                 Science Career Workshops where women students would be
                 introduced to and hopefully motivated into choosing
                 careers in the sciences and (2) Career Facilitation
                 Projects where women who have scientific training but
                 are not using it could be brought up to date and made
                 ready to enter the job market or enter graduate school.
                 This paper describes the Career Facilitation Project
                 being undertaken by the Computer Sciences Department of
                 the University of Texas at Austin, supported by the
                 National Science Foundation under Grant \#SMI6-20420.",
