<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black;">Dear
Colleagues:<br>
<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black;">The
scientific
emphases of Jefferson Lab will change over the coming decade as
we implement
the 12 GeV physics program. Along with the promise and the
excitement of this
program, we also face the real potential for restrained federal
support and
tight budgets, making this transition even more challenging.<span
style=""> </span>It is also incumbent upon us to operate
the lab as efficiently and effectively as possible.<br>
<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman"; color: black;">Therefore
we
will implement a Voluntary Separation Program (VSP).<span
style=""> </span>Our objective is to create the
flexibility to develop the right balance of skills and staffing
levels for the
12 GeV era of science.<span style=""> <br>
<br>
</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman";">The lab’s management
team has analyzed the situation, and we seek up to 35 volunteers
for the <span style="color: black;">VSP. <span style=""> </span></span>For
those
who decide to participate in this voluntary separation program,
a separation
package will be offered.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman";">To provide you with
more information about this program, we have scheduled three
all-staff meetings
during which we will present full details and answer all of your
questions.<br>
<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman";">These meetings will
be held on Thursday, June 28 in the CEBAF Center auditorium from
1:00 p.m. to 4:30
p.m.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman";">I encourage you to
attend one of these meetings so that you can fully understand
the workforce reduction
program and make an informed decision as to whether it is right
for you. If for
work-related reasons you are unable to attend your scheduled
meeting, please
attend another.<br>
<br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-size: 12pt;
font-family: "Times New Roman";">I look forward to
seeing you there,</span></p>
