Federal/USGSRay Fox

Have two imagery, twoLiDARgrants ready to award, delayed by snowstorm in DC. Working with St. Charles county. Look for a National Map video onYouTubeor on the National Map web site.

Could also lose 13 liaisons. Mark D suggested the need for a letter of support for the liaisons.
