My signature below indicates my awareness of the Award Application.  I understand that I am invited, but not required, to attach comments expressing my support, concern or opposition.  I also believe that there is no source of income for this project other than that mentioned in the application, and that funding by Friends of OSD would not supplant State funding responsibilities.
