<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR
Monday night saw me in seat 9C again on the US Air shuttle
down to
DC. I had an excellent meeting with Margaret Leinen at NSF
on
Tuesday morning - there continues to be good optimism at NSF
concerning another strong budget request for fiscal 2008.
Then there
were two days of meetings at CORE before returning to the
Observatory
on Thursday to meet with Arnold Gordon's Tech Center Steering
committee and plan the roll out of this institutionally important
initiative in the fall. Campus leadership then had one of
its
regular video conferences with Jeff Sachs and Earth Institute
Executive Director Steve Cohen before meeting with the new
Columbia
Director of Research compliance and training Naomi Schrag.
With an
Observatory Management group meeting to top off the day, and
a dinner
downtown with some oil company executives in the evening,
I was all
fueled up and ready for the monthly Executive Committee meeting
on
Friday morning.
Amid the thunderstorms his afternoon Ellen Smith and Nick
Moustakas
(CU Government relations) visited the campus and did their
usual
thorough and professional job of giving us an overview (with
some
good news (e.g. NSF) and some bad news (e.g. NASA)) about
the
Washington budget scene.
And now it is the weekend once again and August is upon us.
Have a great weekend,
- Mike
