Correction

Daily Staff Writer

A front-page story in Thursday’s Daily about budget cutbacks at Ames Laboratory incorrectly reported the salaries of two of the 21 employees being let go.

The article said the employees’ salaries were more than $500,000. In addition, the story incorrectly stated that the highest-paid employee being let go makes $667,000 annually.

In fact, two of the employees make more than $50,000 annually. One employee being placed off makes $66,700. The Daily regrets the error.
