Dear CLEO III Trigger and DAQ enthusiast:

please find enclosed the (preliminary) agenda for the next DAQ/Trigger group
meeting. The meeting will take place on September 27-28 at Ohio State
(no, it's not a football Saturday).

Following the structure of the previous meetings we will have plenary sessions
to review the current status of the project and a number of parallel working
group sessions. For some of the working groups we will have presentations to
introduce the interesting topics. These will, however, be fairly brief to 
leave enough room for discussion.

The working group structure, actually the whole agenda, is only a suggestion
at this point and we would appreciate your feedback to ensure an interesting
meeting.

Regards,

Mats and Klaus  

           CLEO III DAQ/Trigger Meeting
		Ohio State University
		    Columbus, Ohio
		 Sept. 27 - 29 1996
