\opening{Dear Ms. McKinley:}

At the request of the ASC PET Management team (Dana Hoffman and Bill
Zilliox), we would like to purchase the computer equipment described
below on subcontract NRC-CR-96-0023 (DoD/HPC Modernization Program at
the ASC MSRC, Dayton, Ohio). This equipment will be used for our work
on Training Repositories under the Statement of Work agreed to in
Change Order 001.  We understand that we will receive additional
funding to cover this purchase.

The proposed equipment consists of one high-end PC system, equipped
for multimedia (especially video) operation, and two Optibase
MovieMaker MPEG1 encoders.  These components, along with software
developed at Syracuse University, will be used to capture training
sessions in computer-accessible form. Ultimately, one MovieMaker will
remain at Syracuse, while the other, along with the PC, will be
delivered to ASC.  Price quotes from the vendors are attached.

\begin{tabular}{llrrr}
\hline\hline
Vendor & Description & Unit Price & Qty & Total \\
\hline
Gateway2000 & GP6-266 w/ multimedia capabilities & 3676.00 & 1 & 3676.00 \\
Optibase & MovieMaker MPEG1 Encoder & 4100.00 & 2 & 8200.00 \\
\hline
TOTAL & & & & 11876.00 \\
\hline\hline
\end{tabular}

As the PET Director is very anxious to get this equipment ordered and
in place, we would appreciate your quick response to this request.

\closing{Sincerely,}
\ps{encl: Vendor quotes: Gateway, Optibase}
