> Dear Colleague:
>
> In late December of 2004, the University applied for a $25 million dollar
> grant to build a Regional Biocontainment Laboratory (RBL).  As part of the
> public outreach plan, University researchers and administration members 
> have spoken with many off-campus and on-campus committees and clubs and 
> have held two public forums, one on February 23rd and the second on March 
> 1st.  A complete tape of the first forum can be viewed on the RBL web-site 
> at:  http://depts.washington.edu/rbl3/index.html
>
> Several members of the University community have requested that a third
> public forum be held at an earlier time of the day to be sure that 
> everyone in the University community has an opportunity to share their 
> views and perspectives about this issue as the President considers his 
> recommendation about the grant application.  (See "Decision making 
> process" on the RBL web-site: 
> http://depts.washington.edu/rbl3/process.html)
>
> The third public forum has been set for April 11th, in room 310 of the HUB
> from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm.  The format will be the same as the first two, 
> with a brief presentation about the Regional Biocontainment Grant and the 
> study of infectious diseases at the University of Washington followed by 
> time for question and answers or comments from the audience.  Vice Provost 
> Steven Olswang will moderate the forum.
>
> If you are unable to attend this third forum but have an opinion or 
> question you would like to share with the President, please send an e-mail 
> to the RBL e-mail address at: rbl3 at u.washington.edu or visit the web-site 
> and fill out a comment card at: 
> http://depts.washington.edu/rbl3/index.html
>
> Please feel free to forward this e-mail to others in your organization. If
> you have any questions, please feel free to call me directly at 221-2603.

> Thank you.
