One further consequence is that the CLAS Collaboration planned for November is now at <b>significant risk</b>. </div><div><br></div><div>Please <b>do not</b> submit a visit registration or arrange your travel until we have clarity on the situation. If JLab furloughs then JLab staff would not be able to participate even in a remote meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>This is a difficult time for our JLab colleagues and we appreciate that these issues have repercussions for the entire JLab community including our collaboration.</div><div><br></div><div>I will keep you updated with developments.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards</div><div>Bryan</div><div><br></div><div><div>
