Dear Colleagues, The University Consortium for Linear Collider R&D and the Linear Collider Research and Development Working Group take pride in releasing a comprehensive report on new proposals for Linear Collider accelerator and detector R&D. The report can be found on the web at the following url: http://www.hep.uiuc.edu/LCRD/html_files/proposal.html The report, entitled "A University Program of Accelerator and Detector Research for the Linear Collider", consists largely of a compilation of 80 subproposals, coordinated with the help of the American Linear Collider Physics Group, authored by University groups, and to be submitted to either the U.S. Department of Energy or the National Science Foundation. It is an impressive and coordinated response to the challenges and opportunities posed by research at the Linear Collider. The report has been released to the Accelerator and Detector Review Committees for their detailed consideration and the evaluation of the individual subproposals. We in UCLC and LCRD hope this effort will continue and grow in the next few years, and lead to a stong national constituency for the Linear Collider. Sincerely, Ritchie Patterson, Joe Rogers, and Gerry Dugan University Consortium for Linear Collider R&D Dan Amidei, Dave Finley, George Gollin, Tom Himel, John Jaros, Andreas Kronfeld, and Usha Mallik Linear Collider Research and Development Working Group
