<>LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

We were very pleased to entertain Ambrose Monell for an hour on
Tuesday - he continues to be a great friend to the Observatory and is
intent upon helping us win more visibility for Lamont on the national
scene.

Marine Operations successfully navigated themselves though the
annual Safety Management audit today - not an overwhelming challenge
given that our ship has not been operating, but always a worry
nonetheless.

A second ExCom was necessary this month to handle promotion cases -
and the Associate Directors Pat O'Reilly and made a small start at
thinking about long range space needs for the Observatory beyond
Geochemistry. Space is always such a fun thing to talk about...

It was great to see Martin Visbeck - at Lamont for Arnold Gordon's
ANSLOPE meeting - and hear about his successes in Kiel.

This Saturday we are hosting the Westchester County section of the
CU Alumni society, and hope to make some new friends who will take an
interest in our growth and success.

Early Monday morning I head north to Nova Scotia to visit our ship,
Marcus G. Langseth, in the shipyard - will be back on Wednesday.

Have a good weekend,


- Mike
