Dear Professor Goode:

	I am writing this letter to strongly support the 1.6m telescope
project (NST) at Big Bear Solar Observatory and propose to take over
your current 65cm telescope for education and research in Parie View
University.

	New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) is the leading
institution of university-based solar physics research in US. It operates
the well-known Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO). BBSO has been extremely
productive in research and education since it was taken over by NJIT. The
proposed new telescope is well justified by its excellent seeing, strong
research group, and strong support for space missions and space weather.

	We propose to take over your current 65-cm telescope after you
finish the NST project. Parie View is a school with a student
body represented by 95% of black. We have established the Parie View Solar
Observatory with the support from NSF and NASA. We currently use a 35-cm
telescope. After we upgrade to 65-cm system, we will be able to make high
resolution solar observations. This upgrade will enhance our education
and research effort. In addition, we will collaborate with BBSO research
group in the space weather prediction.

	I strongly support your NST project and look forward to taking
over the 65-cm telescope.


Sincerely Yours,


Tiansheng Huang,
Director, Parie View Solar Observatory
