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
