Subject: U.S. ATLAS Computing

Dear Dr. Toohig:

It is the purpose of this letter to allocate the remaining \$696.3K for
U.S. ATLAS Computing for the second half of FY \'00. We are deriving the
level of funds available from the DOE per our discussions during the
U.S. LHC Computing review during January 18-20, 2000. The \$696.3K is
taken as the sum of the \$630.3K from DOE funds and \$66K recovered from
the partial reallocation of funds from Tufts via the MONARC project. The
details of the uses of these funds were already discussed at length in
the LHC Computing review and are described in the documentation
provided. In addition to this, we are proposing to use \$428.7K of NSF
funds for the balance of FY \'00. The total amount we see as available
from NSF sources is \$500K derived from a grant at Columbia and \$200K
derived from a grant at the University of Chicago.

Our allocation is as follows:
