The revised proposal is attached. We have attempted
to address all of your questions -- hopefully this
provides enough detail, but we would be happy to add
more specifics about the strategic goals and survey
design process if needed. I apologize for missing the
Friday deadline -- I was juggling a lot of things last
week, and this fell between the cracks briefly.<br>
