Dear Dr. Lederberg:

I have enclosed, for your information, a copy of BIONET'’s’ annual
progress report, covering the period March 1, 1984 to February 28,
1985.

The primary issue which is of concem to us is the anticipated need
for some level of fee for service in order to support the anticipated
network telecommunications costs for year 3 and beyond. The best
solution from a number of standpoints is to request that users pay
their own telecommunication costs beginning March 1, 1986. This issue
will be a major item for the agenda of our next National Advisory
Committee (NAC) meeting.

If you have not already done so, please forward to me your schedules
for March 1, 1985 - April 15, 1985 so that we can plan the NAC meeting
scheduled to take place in this time period. Electronic mail is an
excellent way to do this, and I encourage your use of this aspect of
BIONET!

Sincerely,

Man ff

Dennis H. Smith
BIONET Resource Manager
