Nevdless to say, I wma greatly ersouraged by the tenor of ny visit and
on looking forward te more definite verd fron you.

I am erslosing the "Blurb! I praised you. This was semposed seme tine
ago, and some details are questionsble, My attitude abeut counseling, for
exemple, obviously reflects ny om inadequacies, and more direct service
aight be poesible, and shauld perhaps be enecuraged, if it could be staffed
fren a olin’ depertuemt,. Aleo enclosed are seme other materiala that
may be relevant te justifications you may have to put out.

Rather hopes she can have a raincheok for the visit she couldn't make this
time, aemming a1] goes well in the immediate future, I will have to mke
a project site visit for NIN in Septexber, in any case and that night be a
convenient occasion, The statement of expenses reflects a reduction of cost
te Stenford, since it turned out that the NAS wag paying my expenses for the
satellite mating, I added an item for the trip to Chicage in Pebruary for
& preliminary diseussion with Kornberg, but will be quite happy to pay that
wut of pocket if thie ie an inapprepriate charge. I knew you have suse birrer
probless to worry about,
