Subject: Port facilities for EXPORTS cruise, Ride & Revelle

Hi Liz and Eric, 

In our project office telecon today, the NASA logistics people who are going to be handling our PI equipment shipping (and things like liquid nitrogen etc) expressed their concern that we don’t have a definite port facility yet. Do you have any updates on this situation? We also need to know as soon as we can about stuff like port access for foreign nationals if it’s a federal facility, so we can plan accordingly. Are either of you going to be at the Ocean Sciences Meeting? We’re looking forward to meeting with Matt and Matt at our EXPORTS session on Sunday but I don’t think they will know the port situation. 

Many thanks, 
Norm Nelson and Debbie Steinberg
