     Dear Tim,
     Here are some suggestions for potential reviewers of a Santer et al. IJoC submission on
     issues related to the consistency between modeled and observed atmospheric temperature
     trends. None of the suggested reviewers  have been involved in the recent "focus group"
     that has discussed problems with the Douglass et al. IJoC paper.
