Next FDC meeting

["Daniel S. Carman" <carman@jlab.org>]

Folks,

The agenda for this week's FDC (and joint FDC/CDC) meeting is
included below.  The time for the combined FDC/CDC meeting has
been expanded somewhat to allow sufficient time for discussion.
The regular FDC meeting will begin at 1:45 p.m..  Dialing 
instructions for outside folks are given below as well.  Let me
know if you have any questions.


				Regards,

				   Daniel
