Chile Returns to the Partnership

August 29, 1997

Dear Mr. Ramirez: With this message I acknowledge receipt of your e-mail informing the National Science Foundation, as Executive Agency for the Gemini Partnership, that CONICYT has met fully the conditions set by the Gemini Partner agencies for re-entry into the project, and done so within the allowed time.

On behalf of the Parties to the Gemini Agreement, we welcome you back to Gemini and look forward to many years of scientific and institutional collaboration. Also, on behalf of all of the Gemini participants, I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the efforts of yourself, Dr. d'Etigny, the representatives of the the Government, and the members of the Chilean Congress who have worked so hard to make this a reality.

Sincerely,

G. W. Van Citters
Staff Associate for Gemini
