By quickly I mean before Jan 14. I'm a CLA on the observations chapter for IPCC and draft have to be in by Jan 14. I should have some time after that and be able to respond by Jan 21.

The comment is by M. Mann and S. Rutherford and deals with the paper "Reconstructing Past Climate from Noisy Data" by H. von Storch et al., published on p. 679 of the 22 October 2004 issue of *Science*. The comment and response together are about 5 pages, double-spaced, in length. If you agree to review the comment, we ask that the review be completed within two weeks. Also, if you're unable to do the review, could I ask for your suggestions on alternative appropriate reviewers? Thanks for your time and help. Sincerely yours, Tara Marathe Tara S.
