[All_staff] Message from Hugh Montgomery: Budget Situation

[Pat Stroop]

Dear Colleagues,

As most of you will be aware, an agreement with respect to the budget 
for the balance of FY2011 was announced late last week. Based on reports 
from various sources, the cuts to be applied to the Office of Science 
budget are less significant than anticipated. We are now hopeful about 
the prospects for the year.

However, it is important for you to know that, as yet, we have received 
no firm guidance with respect to the Jefferson Lab budget. Consequently, 
we are not in a position to make any firm statements about how we will 
be proceeding. This is also the situation under which the accelerator 
and experimental program managers are working. We have not been able to 
make definitive statements about the end game of the run.

We hope to have better information in hand over the next few days. When 
we do, and when we have digested it, we will let you know. Again, we 
understand that this puts you under stress and your continued ability to 
function in these circumstances is enormously valued, as is your care 
and consideration for safety related issues.

With Best Regards,

Mont
