To whom it may concern,

With this message, I would like to endorse the petition to
revise the report entitled "Computing the Future: A Broader
Agenda for Computer Science and Engineering."  While I
personally believe strongly in the great importance of
problem-oriented research, the report as it stands does not
recognize the importance of basic research to the long-range
vitality of the field.
