Hi Nick,
Thanks for the offer.  Does that mean both you and Przemek are coming?  That
would be great.  Please contact Maria Heinig <MHeinig at anl.gov> as soon as
possible to confirm it if you are.  It's probably more urgent for Przemek
since I assume he's still not a US citizen.  They like to have a week to get
the site visit authorized for non-US citizens (DOE has tightened up its
security following the Wen-Ho Lee saga, even for non-weapons labs like
Argonne).

Regards,
Ray
