Thomas Diehl Statement: Fermilab has a record of superb contributions to science of particle physics, high energy accelerators, and to particle astrophysics. At this time it is especially important for participants in research at Fermilab to understand and contribute to its future as a leading institution. U.E.C efforts to communicate our interests to the public and to advocate our interests in Washington are keys. I propose to serve on the U.E.C so that I can contribute to a successful future for our field. My home web page can be found at http://www-d0.fnal.gov/~diehl/diehl.html.
