Dear Friends,

   Please join me in congratulating John on his election to the
National Academy of Sciences.  John's leading effort in the density
functional theory (DFT) is widely used in many fields to calculate
fundamental properties of materials.  Professor Ward Plummer of LSU
was a leader in this effort.

     Jim
