Larry-
    I think it would be great if your records are used because I know how
careful you are with the calibration and timing and your recording site is out
there in Redwood City on the valley sediments of the Bay where we have few
records, strong motion or otherwise. Similar sites underlain by unconsolidated
sediments proved to be lethal in the Turkey Earthquake as they also did in the
Marina District in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake.
    I am leaving for Turkey on Friday.
