hi Graham,
What we can do is lay out the logic in the longer part of the Summary in a little more detail so that people will read it in the informed spirit.

that would be OK too… but presumably accelerator R&D is referring to high field magnet R&D, which is a US strength we should not let go of…

well, are you thinking that we should choose one or the other between SRF and high-field magnets? I think that would be way too restrictive.

or are you saying we should mention something about ILC accelerator R&D also?
