Dear Josh:

Thanks for your note. I appreciate your sensitivity to potential
conflicts of interest, but there's no need to worry that you might be an
industrial wolf in academic sheep's clothing. In fact, the breadth of your
contacts beyond academia is an asset for our purposes. Our panels are chosen
to draw on all sectors of society and are meant to elicit the full scope of
view points and constituencies. It's a kind of Archimedes principle applied
to policy analysis!

We would very much like to have you serve on the panel given these
assurances. I've sent the Project Director, Dr. Gary Ellis, your cv so he is
aware of your interest and availability. Please call me or him at (202) 226-
2099 should you have any other questions. You will be hearing more about the
panel from us in the near future.

Sincerely,
ot

Gibbons
