Dear Josh:

Thank you very much for your kind letter of
October 4, 1972. I appreciate very much your comments
and I hope we have the chance to sit down some time and
talk about the article.

With respect to your comments about the use of
academic resources, I am in full agreement. Now that we
have completed the shake down cruise, I am hopeful that
we will be able to make much greater use of the expertise
that is available in the great funiversities in California.
