"An excellent point. Yes. I agree that some stability would enhance your laboratory's output.  The maximum we can do is three years.

Therefore, this is the contract package I'd like to offer you:

 **ONE guaranteed trip to a conference each year for two years

 **$1,400 for software to analyze data

 **$19,720 for hardware (i.e., special computer processor and other equipment)

**One graduate research assistant for three years

 **A nine-month salary at the 50th percentile

 **Required to teach one summer session, which does not count toward your regular, academic-year teaching load

 **Three-days-a-week teaching schedule for Fall and two-days-a-week teaching schedule for the following Spring.

**It is understood that all royalties and licensing fees resulting from any commercial by-products of the research will go to the college."

Your Response:

1.    It is good...I will accept your kind and generous offer.

2.    I believe that we can make Eldorado University the premier college for this type of Internet-based research.  If we set up this lab, then it will produce several research papers. And we will need to keep up with the cutting-edge research that others are doing in this very specialized field.  I know that you want us to succeed.  Do you think that only one conference trip will be enough?
