<> LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Toilet seats that are plugged into 110-volt power outlets remain a cause of consternation, even after 20 visits to Tokyo over the last ten years. The comfort afforded by the warmth is more than offset by the insecurity afforded by the flashing LEDs on the control panel characterized by most remarkable ideograms.

These minor distractions aside, this short trip to Tokyo with Dave Goldberg, Director of our Borehole Research Group and Dan Quoidbach, head of the Ocean Drilling Program Site Survey Data Bank at LDEO, has been remarkably successful and we return home today having achieved essentially all our goals.

One important event next week is a visit by the Board of Trustees of the Doherty Foundation - this will be on Friday, June 18th. There will be a special seminar at 3:30 pm in their honor followed by a reception to which all are invited. Maya Tolstoy will be giving a very entertaining presentation entitled 'Listening to the Ocean' - so please join us at the talk and the reception and meet the Doherty Trustees.

Now, I shall go and sit in an oxygen starved aluminum tube for fourteen hours and emerge into the Friday afternoon rush hour at JFK.

Have a great weekend,

– Mike
