<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#202020">Colleagues,<br>
<br>
I am writing to keep you informed about the lab’s operational status. With the support of the Department of Energy, Jefferson Lab expects to extend full operations through mid-November. The specific date will be communicated once it is determined. We continue
to evaluate funding options to extend operations for as long as possible for as many people as possible.<br>
<br>
Tomorrow (Wednesday, Oct. 22) will be designated as a paid holiday. Normal operations will resume Thursday, Oct. 23, and staff should report to work as scheduled.<br>
<br>
A more comprehensive set of FAQs will be shared as soon as possible. For now, here is some important information we can share:</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#202020"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
