Hi Tony,

Unfortunately, this is more than a funding issue. The federal government
currently seems to have security concerns about all foreign travel, at least in
the short term. So feel free to fill my slot since I will not be able come
given the new policies for new foreign travel requests in the current climate.

Others who I know that are familiar with high-z CO work include:
(in no particular order)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Nick Scoville: nzs_at_astro.<!--nospam-->caltech.edu -- Nick probably would not be available on
short notice though.

Peter Papadopoulos: papadop_at_strw.<!--nospam-->leidenuniv.nl -- Peter has done recent low CO
transition work at high-z (see astro-ph).

Rob Ivison: rji_at_roe.<!--nospam-->ac.uk -- Rob has taken part in my CO work, Peter's work,
as well as his own; he is one of the major players in research of the SCUBA
galaxies.

Aaron Evans: aevans_at_vulcan.<!--nospam-->ess.sunysb.edu -- Aaron is familar with my CO work,
did his own searches in the past, and has worked with PG-qsos, ULIGs, and radio
galaxies.

-Dave
