Dear Colleagues, At its August meeting the Fermilab Program Advisory Committee (PAC) recommended extending the Tevatron run by three years beyond 2011. The DOE and NSF requested the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) to reconvene the Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) to give advice on this issue. P5 met on October 15 & 16 and has made the following recommendation: " The panel recommends that the agencies proceed with a three-year extension of the Tevatron program if the resources required to support such an extension become available in addition to the present funding for HEP. Given the strong physics case, we encourage the funding agencies to try to find the needed additional resources. " The presentation outlining the conclusion can be found at: http://www.er.doe.gov/hep/files/pdfs/HEPAPSlidesBaltay2010.pdf The full report can be found online at: http://www.er.doe.gov/hep/files/pdfs/P5Report2010Final.pdf Sincerely, Norman Graf
