[Welcoming words from Fermilab Director Pier Oddone, as delivered by Jeff Appel] Welcome to the meeting and best wishes for a productive workshop on mu to e conversion. The reach of this experiment into very high energies is astonishing -- it is important to explore what can be done in almost any scenario of physics that one postulates for the LHC. Clearly resources will be a critical issue, whether it is protons on target or $$ - but before we get to worrying about that, explore the physics and articulate the case. The national program may need some really neat experiments if we do not launch onto the ILC at the turn of the decade. Enjoy yourselves in physics!
