[Olympus] Results from PRC closed session

[Michael Kohl]

Dear Doug and Jan,

congratulation on an excellent job defending OLYMPUS in this review.

There was also a very good OLYMPUS session at the DNP this morning with 
four talks by Brian, Ozgur, Rebecca, and myself. This nicely demonstrated 
the great amount of care that is being applied to the entire OLYMPUS 
analysis effort.

Best regards
   Michael
