    Dear Jorge and Adam,
    
    I am sorry for my late reply. 
    Last week when I received Jorge's request for NuTeV report
    on sin2(thetaW), we were in the middle of the K2K collaboration
    meeting and I was not able to asnwer. 
    The day before yesterday, when we were about to
    announce the program in Web, I heard a bad news that Bernstein (NuTeV)  
    had to cancell the trip to NuInt01 since his division is
    prohibiting a foreign travel. So, I was not sure whether we
    would have a NuTeV report on sin2(thetaW) at all. 
    
    Personally, I was about to propose that Bernstein (NuTeV)
    may present the result of sin2(thetaW) (3 sigma effect) 
    briefly for 10 min after his NuTeV cross section
    measurements or at the end of the 2nd day. 
    This morning, I received a message from Bernstein that he
    cannot come after all. Too bad. 
    
    Jorge, is anyone from NuTeV coming to the workshop if
    Bernstern does not come??  Besides sin2(thetaW), is anyone
    reporting on nu_mu/nu_mu_bar NuTeV cross section measurements?
    If not, can we have some figures of NuTeV cross sections for 
    the workshop??
    We will update the Web as soon as I hear your suggestion.
    You can see a nearly final program in Web.
    
    One change:
    Y. Obayashi (KEK) who has been studying the CP phase
    measurement in the future JHF superbeam is giving a talk 
    in the first session which Dave volunteered. He wants to concentrate on MC
    generator session, and he and Japanese OPC members agree.
    
    By the way, K2K meeting is over. We will be able to show the 
    results which we planned originally. 
    
    Regards,
    Makoto Sakuda
