Good morning,

See a word from our sponsor below.  NASA is encouraging us to include
atmospheric observations and satellite observations in to our workshop.
This is not uninteresting but it goes a bit outside of the concept that we
originally envisioned and presented.  I think our original focus was on
sources, inventories, and models.  Should we include more than a token
presence on atmospheric observations?  If so,we probably need to expand the
number of participants and the budget.

I'll await your comments before replying to Diane.

- Michael
