<p class="MsoNormal">Colleagues, </p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Due to the current lapse in federal funding and the
continuing uncertainty regarding future federal funding, Jefferson Lab is
canceling the public dedication of its Technology and Engineering Development
Facility (<span word="TEDF" id="DWT153" class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED">TEDF</span>) that had been scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 3 p.m.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We regret the inconvenience this may cause, but we believe
this is the correct and responsible course of action.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While the dedication event has been canceled, the <span word="TEDF" id="DWT154" class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED">TEDF</span> will
be open for staff and users to take self-directed tours from 10 a.m. – noon on
Wednesday, Oct. 16. There will be posters, displays and staff experts on hand
to provide information, answer questions and guide you on your tour.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The <span word="TEDF" id="DWT155" class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED">TEDF</span> is a wonderful facility and a strong expression of
the nation’s support for basic scientific research. This state-of the-art
facility will make it possible for the lab and the U.S. to remain in the
forefront of superconducting <span word="radiofrequency" id="DWT156" class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED">radiofrequency</span> (<span word="SRF" id="DWT157" class="ZM-SPELLCHECK-MISSPELLED">SRF</span>), cryogenics and related
engineering technologies.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope you will take advantage of the opportunity to tour to
learn about this exciting, new facility.</p>
