Editors-in-chief: K. Hirata and J.M. Jowett, Editors: S. Chattopadhyay, W. Chou, S. Ivanov, H. Mais, J. Wei, and C. Zhang

It is my special privilege to present to you the current ICFA Beam Dynamics Newsletter upon invitation from John Jowett of CERN. This issue focuses on the special topic of Recirculated Energy Recovered Linacs as being investigated at various laboratories such as Cornell, Berkeley, Jefferson Lab, Brookhaven, etc. In addition, a few other laboratories have contributed on general synchrotron radiation and other topics. I must give a special note of thanks to Dr. Geoffrey Krafft and Dr. Yuhong Zhang of Jefferson Lab who have, working in concert with me, jointly solicited, collected and put together this outstanding issue for your benefit. As we continue the newsletter in the future, it is my sincere hope that we can continue this tradition of presenting topical material in such depth as this one. This issue is going to press as the calendar year 2001 draws to a close and so I must wish you all pleasant holidays, season's greetings and a very happy new year.
