<p class="MsoNormal">Here is the item that Forrest brought up at our last meeting. Just in case you have not<br>
received the request from NSF. <br>
<br>
Forrest: do you want to lead the discussion here? I assume that the point is either to coordinate and<br>
submit one or more for NHERI or just encourage participation.<br>

See you all at 3:00 PM EDT today.<br>
