Jay Wertenberger is our Contracting Officer and can be reached at 509-375-3601. His assistant Mary Hughes should be sending each of you a supplement to your existing contract for the Year 2 funding. When the agreement were placed last year, we identified the agreements to be three year agreements to be funded incrementally and the annual funding amount was identified in the original contract. Basically they revise your contract to reflect a new / revised ceiling amount. As we did last year, we are incrementally funding each Year 2 amount incrementally...as we do not have all of our project funding from DOE/NOAA to provide full funding for Year 2 at this time. I anticipate being able to fund the balance of Year 2 in November or December...like we did last year. NOTE: - when I do the November/December Year 2 supplements, I will be reducing any authorized year 1 funds that were not utilized. Typically this is the funds that were identified for travel expenses. These funds will go back to the project to provide support for travel support or other project expenses. It would be appreciated if each of you could forward your FINAL INVOICE for Year 1 efforts through May 31, 2000 sometime during June or July. Thanks!

I expect the funding level will be identical to what you originally proposed for year 2. Also, I expect the funds will be allocated in 2 parts as they were last year. But the authority on all this is Karen King who will be contacting you with the financial details. Things should be painless from your point of view (but not Karen's). Don't hesitate to ask Karen about any things you do not understand. Reiner...I'll provide some input for your agreement with PNNL (and cc you), but please just do what Karen asks. I'll be in HH May 29 (with Mojib) if you have questions. After that until June 22, you can ask Gabi (who has been thro the process for a few years) for advice. It will be new to you, but no big deal. good detecting! tim
