[Frost] Two cents worth

[Bill Briscoe]

Hi Mike,

I believe you mean gamma n -> pi- p. Yes, I believe that this is a unique opportunity that should not be lost. We should look for the best physics to get out of this in a short time. I agree with Barry that we should not hunt for peaks, but look where we are sure to see something. This might lead to the allocation of more time if that is possible.

Bill
