Dear Prof. Stöcker, lieber Horst,<br />
we, members of the community of Austrian scientists interested<br />
in the research possible at FAIR, want to express our strong<br />
support <strong>for</strong> the recent initiative of installing the CRYRING accelerator<br />
at the ESR storage ring of GSI. This will open up the possibility<br />
to explore already now a part of the physics program of<br />
FLAIR with highly charged ions available from ESR <strong>and</strong> keep<br />
CRYRING in continuous operation until antiproton or higher intensity<br />
HCI beams from FAIR become available, <strong>for</strong> which<br />
CRYRING was originally <strong>for</strong>eseen. The FOPI experiment existing<br />
in the vicinity of ESR could then potentially be used to explore<br />
hadron physics with stopped antiprotons, which will be a unique<br />
feature of FLAIR.<br />
We think this current initiative will strengthen the interest <strong>and</strong><br />
support of the physics communities in FLAIR <strong>and</strong> will allow a<br />
strong physics program to be carried out until the full FLAIR facility<br />
can be realized.<br />
