Leon - from time to time, I like to recognize exceptional efforts by individuals that go beyond the call of duty. With this in mind, I would like to personally thank you for helping to translate my presentation for Vice President Gore and Russion Prime Minister Chernomyrdin's visit last week. I realize this was a last minute request and that it also took several hours to locate the right resources to complete. It was a job well done and I want to again personally express my heart-felt appreciation for your special contribution to the overall success of that meeting.

Sincerely,
John

As many of you may know, Vice President Al Gore and Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin visited Cisco yesterday. We were asked to host the private meeting by Vice President Gore as part of a roundtable discussion between business and academic leaders from Silicon Valley and a large delegation of business and government leaders from Russia.

More than two dozen Silicon Valley CEOs and academics participated in the 2-hour meeting. The meeting focused on how the new Internet economy will change everything and how it affects all countries. We also talked about the opportunity the new Internet economy will create in Russia, as well as unique Russian assets, such as their highly educated workforce.

I want you to know Cisco was truly honored to host such an event and I think it begins to speak to the level of influence we are making as a team and as a company with government leaders. I believe it also demonstrates that value Cisco is delivering to our customers and some of the recognition that goes along with that position.

John
