Abstract: It is found that the diffusion of Li can lower the initial Li abundance of warm halo stars by a factor of two to three. It is also determined that the diffusion of He can have a substantial effect on the evolution of the star, reducing the age at which the turnoff occurs at a given effective temperature by about 30 percent.
