Michael-

You have done a great job putting this together. Just a few last
minute notes:

In the abstract - I disagree with Tony's suggestion of specifying an
array of four 1.8m telescopes - this is the comparison of two conceptual
approaches. The current Pan-STARRS is four telescopes, but  it is
understood that 15-20 would be required to equal the entendue
comparable to the single 8-m design.

To echo Dave Morrison, we should be consistent in emphasizing PHAs
rather than NEOs.

P6, Spaceguard survey has a goal of discovering by 2008 AT LEAST 90%
of the 1km NEOs.

Discovery of PHAs requiring small delta V identify future potential NASA
mission targets.
