Sherry,

You will truly be missed.  I have enjoyed talking and working with 
you over the years.  It is a shame that a worthwhile program, which 
to us out here seemed to be solving a problem should have funding 
removed.  I would be interested as I believe others also might be to 
hear from EM why the decision was made not to fund a program to 
recapture special nuclear materials that the DOE/ERDA/AEC put out in 
the public environment to begin with.
