* News (Ron) - Thanks for making our first FTL timecard submission/approval
go pretty smoothly.

* Tevatron Startup (Jerry Annala) - Successes: Separator conditioning OK.
Established QBS ramp (90 GeV) for main bus.  B0 low-beta quads are on.
Almost all other supplies are on.  Kickers are being conditioned.  Beam 
sign-off done.  Problems: New vacuum leak at A34, being overcome with
additional pumping.  Voltage tap on low-beta quad D1Q4.  Cryo has shortage
of operational ring compressors - no redundancy at moment.  Jerry also reviewed
our start-up.  Being optimistic, we could be ready for first beam this evening;
MI is commissioning their 150 GeV operation.
