Dear Mario Pinto:

On behalf of the members of the BC Synchrotron Institute, I would like to request

that the centre be officially terminated. The aims of the centre have been

accomplished. BC researchers are actively using beamlines at the Canadian Light

Source. There is little need of, or will to organize, further activities related to this

centre within BC.

Sincerely,

Z'.
