TO: Professor Edward Feigenbaum
-Professor Joshua Lederberg
Dr. Dennis H. Smith

I am herewith enclosing some self-explanatory material which
requires a prompt response. As you can see, I have been asked by
CHEMOMETRICS AND INTELLIGENT LABORATORY SYSTEMS, a new journal,

to review a paper by Neil Gray entitled "Dendral and Meta-
Dendral - The Myth and the Reality." All you really need to read

is the abstract and pages 35 - 41 dealing with the section
"Lessons from the Dendral Project." As you can see, his .
conclusions are quite devastating, and I would like to know which SL
one of\you is prepared to referee the paper. I will then. forward

the entire manuscript to that person.

Cordially,
|
