Friends...the names of the study committee went past too fast to write them all down but I do not think I saw anyone from Lawrence Livermore. I know that there is a lot of interest there in the NLC. Several posters in the main conference room for the Nuclear Physics Division are about work in HEP and about the NLC. The division head, Ed Hartouni, was away doing neutrino physics when I recently visited. LLNL played a substantial role in the B-factory.

I think good relations would be helped by including someone (like Hartouni) on the SSS committee.

We have been developing a next generation large area gamma-ray telescope for an energy band 0.1-20 MeV. (GLAST energy band is 20 MeV - 200 GeV, so this telescope is complementary to GLAST although it may not be launched before GLAST ends its life.)  I believe (hope) that this could be a next major particle astrophysics project after GLAST at SLAC/Kavli Institute. Some R&D results
are summarized in the following preprints. I hope that the committee looks into a possibility of going into this direction. I am happy to give a presentation on this research.

I mentioned to Persis yesterday the benefits of a site where people could post comments. Here are a few further thoughts. I assume that official things (transparencies like those of yesterday, talks, etc) would be posted

An addressable web site would be of most benefit to our users, many of whom will not be able to make it to the special events, but who may have good ideas

You have two groups set up, each with some specific subtopics. Think about having people address one of the specific subtopics, rather than having a big collection of everything making anything hard to find.

If a lot of comments are received, it may be necessary to appoint a moderator (who should be a user) to decide which deserve posting up front.
