Dear Jeffrey and Thom,

I have a simple proposal to start the center.

I think we should define four very basic, very hot fields and designate =our coordinators, which should be world leaders in their fields and =lso, not less important, known for being nice and easy to work with.

I suggest the fields we should develop, and the corresponding coordinato=s as,

1. Gravitation, Astrophysics and Cosmology, coordinator Alexander Vilenk=n, Tufts University ,

2. Dark Matter, coordinator Pierre Sikivie, University of Florida

3. Collider physics and field theory in general, Zvi Bern, UCLA

4. Mathematical physics, including string theory, Thom Curtright and his=colleagues, could use Thoms proposal as a basis.

Me and Thom could remain as general coordinators, I could easily work wi=h any of the above people, no problems will arise, expect a smooth progres=.

The hiring, selection, etc. will be with the help of these coordinators.=/p>

Could we contact these coordinators early next week?, if there is ok fro= Jeffrey.

Happy holidays,

best,
