Hello Tong Zhu,

1.  It is terrible that the Chinese Embassy was bombed in Serbia.  I
don't know what to say except it should not have happened.  I am glad we
talked about Kosovo during my visit so you know my personal feelings.

2.  Thank you for your hospitality when I visited Dalian.  I really
appreciated that you came to the Airport Sunday to meet me.  Also, the
lunch was delicious.

3.  I am back in Minneapolis and this weekend I checked the existing
line and HSM sizes.
  a.  The hardline from the HPS to the pit is OK for the new max flow.
  b.  The existing HSM is too small, so I will order a 100gpm HSM today.

4.  The air compressor needed is about 10 Horsepower, 1 cubic meter per
minute at 12 kg/cm^2 pressure.  The specifications do not need to be
exact.  I still think it is better to buy locally for easier future
service.  If you have a chance to check on availability and price, I
would appreciate it.

5.  I forgot to get the part number for the HPS small accumulator that
is leaking.  Please send the numbers from the part to me and I will ship
a new one with the rest of our parts.

6.  I hope to have manufacturing schedule dates later this week.

7.  This week I will write a formal invitation letter.  Have you decided
where else (other than MTS- Minneapolis Minnesota) you would want to
visit?  When I was there,  we discussed San Diego, San Francisco, Reno
Nevada and Buffalo New York (near Niagara Falls) as interesting cities
with good labs having MTS shaking tables as the options for city stops.

Best Regards
Omar
