Statement:


In the short term, it is imperetive that we handle the transition
to the LHC era judiciously.
The pull of CMS and ATLAS is undeniable and will only get
stronger. We must articulate not only our concerns about manpower and
resources, but also our belief that CDF and D0 will produce exciting
results as the integrated luminosity climbs.  We must convince university
groups and theorists.   The UEC must help in forming and disseminating
this message.


As the LHC turns on and starts producing data the Fermilab LPC must
become a viable and vibrant place that produces results.   I believe this
is possible if the LPC has critical mass, and the UEC can help.
