Hi Jay,
I'm having the appended letter printed on UCAR Office of Programs
stationery and faxed to you. Let me know if this is not sufficient.

Dear Dr. Emerson,
Thanks for your recent participation in the recent series of
Unidata Training Workshops. As a cooperating participant in
the Unidata Program (managed by the University Corporation
for Atmospheric and sponsored by the National Science
Foundation), Western Michigan University could be an even
more effective participant with Internet 2 connectivity and
Unidata's application suite running on a robustly configured
Unix workstation (e.g., a dual 800 Mhz PIII processor,
configured with 100 GB of 10,000 rpm Ultra SCSI hard disk, 1
GB of physical memory, and GB Ethernet connectivity) that
would serve as a relay in Unidata's nationwide Internet Data
Distribution (IDD) system and possibly as an ADDE and DODS
data server to other Unidata participants.
I offer this letter in support of your efforts in acquiring
Internet-2 connectivity for your institution, and for
procurement of a capable Unix workstation for use as an IDD
relay node, data ingester, and data server for your
university and the Unidata community at-large.
Regards,
Dr. Russell K. Rew
Head, Unidata Development and Support Group
