The August 1^st deadline for paper submissions is almost here --- in the next few days Tom Palmerlee will be assigning papers to Committees and we will be looking for reviewers – I hope you will be available to help – we need your expertise and experience with this very important part of the TRB Annual Meeting process. We will also be moving ahead with our Workshop plans and looking for your input on panel sessions and suggestions for partnerships with other Committees. Thanks for all your help and support for ABJ30 --
