An organization has been formed, COALITION for LANL EXCELLENCE
(CLE), to study, comment and report to the public on the RFP. There are
two pages on/from the organization: Description
of the CLE and a CLE
letter on the RFP.
A Coalition:
GENERAL NOTICE OF COALITION FOR LANL EXCELLENCE WEB SITE
The Coalition for LANL Excellence (CLE) that has been formed includes
representatives of the Laboratory Retiree Group (LRG), the Retired
Public Employee Association (RPEA), the Democratic and Republican
parties of Los Alamos County, the University Professional &
Technical Employees Union (UPTE), as well as individuals who are
retired or active Los Alamos National Laboratory employees. The
Coalition for LANL Excellence organized the Przybylek (pronounced She
bal ik) and Udall visits has continued to stay active. The intent is to
pressure for maintenance of LANL as a National Icon and to support the
needs of both Employees and Retirees especially in the area of Benefit
packages. The CLE (as an organization) is not supporting any entities
in the contract although most of the members have strong opinions in
this matter. The CLE is attempting to maintain the communication
channels that it has opened with the Congressional Delegation and the
DOE as well as opening channels of communication with LANL. We hope
also to soon involve members of the local business communities and the
public, both on and off 'the hill', not only to help ensure that this
process results in a continuation of the excellent science that has
characterized Los Alamos in the past, but to see to it that the
Laboratory continues to have a positive impact on the economy and
quality of life of Northern New Mexico.
The CLE now has a "web" site on Yahoo. This site will post
some of the communications and will include a FAQ section. The intent
of the CLE is to disseminate information on the RFP as it evolves. To
sign up for yahoo groups do the following:
Under new users on the left-hand side bar, click on "click

Fill out the form. If you do not have a hot. mail, yahoo.
mail Google. mail and/or some other web based mail account then I
suggest you leave the box checkmark that creates a "Create my free
Yahoo! email address" . This may cut down on the spam you may get and
if some one grabs the account it will go to that account and not you
home e-mail account. If you chose Yahoo mail then your Yahoo address
will be: yahooid@yahoo.com. Use the web based account like the Yahoo
address when you sign in to yahoo groups.
