Dear Rob-

Words I rarely use -- yes I’1l be glad to review that
proposal. I’ve been eager to help Barbara Bachman get more
sophisticated support for the E. coli stock center and map
bibliography, and this will give me a clearer picture of what’s
up there. (I’ve not met Berlyn, but have heard a bit about
her -~- indeed am interviewing one of her programmers, Letovsky,

for a post here. i don’t see a conflict of interest, but that
should be on the table.)

I have a note there is a 10/1 deadline. I/’11 be back to you
‘ere then.
