Dear Tak,

Welcome home. I apologize for being so out of touch. Yes...I'm too busyand my mother is ill so I've been dealing with a lot of things.

Congratulations on the Sloan meeting. This is very exciting and I look forward to hearing the results. It would be very exciting to have a chance to work with them on this effort. I'm in the process of preparing 2001 appropriations requests for Senator Burns along these same lines. I will talk with you more about this effort. Since everyone is interested in broadband demonstration and application projects, I think that we will have a good chance of funding this year. You might mention to Sloan that we are working on multiple sources of funding for this effort. As you know, we have some funding from Citicorp that has been committed but we have not yet received the funds.

I'm wondering about the NSF proposal...are you still interested in moving forward with requests for funding a meeting in the Philipines or another location? If so, that should be submitted before too long.

Again, welcome home.

Kim
