The U.S. Department of State has updated its worldwide travel caution. 
Intelligence and security agencies are on heightened alert for terrorist 
attacks against U.S. interests both at home and abroad. If you have an 
approved foreign trip coming up, the foreign travel section in the JLab 
Travel office will update you if there is any change before your travel 
date.

Information Session Offered May 5 on Permits for Digging, Excavating or

JLab has extensive buried utilities. Many buildings also have electrical

soil or making a blind penetration into walls or floors with tools or 
fasteners, you should attend a special 30-minute presentation at 1:30 
p.m. in the CEBAF Center auditorium on Thursday, May 5. The brief 
information session will cover everything you need to know regarding the 
processes for this type of work at JLab.
