electronic structure conference

[es91 -AatT- theory.TN.CORNELL.EDU (Electronic Structure)]

Hi Linda,
    Pete suggested that I ask you if there are any corporations who may
 be interested in helping fund a conference that we are planning.
 So far we have $1000 from Corning and $10000 from the Navy.
