INTERPLANETARY DUST PARTICLES (IDPS): WE HAVE RECENTLY FOUND HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF Q-TYPE NOBLE GASES IN AN UNUSUAL AMORPHOUS PARTICLE FROM A CLUSTER IDP. THIS DISCOVERY COMBINED WITH OUR EARLIER OBSERVATION OF SIMILAR CONCENTRATIONS WITH Q SIGNATURES IN PARTICLES FROM STARDUST TRACK 41 RAISES INTERESTING QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ORIGIN NATURE AND LOCATION OF THE Q-GAS RESERVOIR WHICH HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN IDENTIFIED ONLY IN CARBONACEOUS GAS CARRIERS IN METEORITES. WE PROPOSE TO INITIATE A SEARCH FOR Q-GAS SIGNATURES IN OTHER PARTICLES EXTRACTED FROM LARGE CLUSTER IDPS OF ARGUABLY COMETARY ORIGIN. SEVERAL LABORATORIES CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN CHARACTERIZING THE CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY OF CLUSTER IDPS HAVE AGREED TO COLLABORATE WITH US IN EXTENDING THESE STUDIES TO INCLUDENOBLE GAS ANALYSES. STARDUST: WE PROPOSE TO CONTINUE AND EXPAND OUR STUDIES OF HELIUM AND NEON ABUNDANCES AND ISOTOPIC DISTRIBUTIONS IN STARDUST SAMPLES. CURRENT RESULTS POINT TO THE PRESENCE OF SEVERAL DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT NOBLE GAS ISOTOPIC SIGNATURES IN THE WILD 2 COMA PARTICLES.SOME OF THESE APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO COMPOSITIONS OBSERVED IN COMETARY IDPS. EFFORTS WILL FOCUS ON NOBLE GAS CHARACTERIZATIONS OF SAMPLE TYPES NOT YET EXAMINED INCLUDING ENTIRE MINI-TRACKS AEROGEL CELL SURFACES APPARENTLY SHOWERED BY SMALL SECONDARY COMET PARTICLES AND SURFACES OF CELLS FROM THE INTERSTELLAR TRAY.
