 JACK GOLDBERG, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR NETMAIL, WROTE ME
 THE FOLLOWING NOTE:
 
 OUR HIRING POTENTIAL DEPENDS ON SEVERAL PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
 (COMMAND CONTROL, NEW ARCHITECURE, ARPA SOFTWARE ENGINEERING) THAT
 ARE VERY IFF AT THIS TIME.  I CAN'T OFFER ALLEN ANY ENCOURAGEMENT
 FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.
 
 I WOULD ADD, IN POSTSCRIPT THAT SINCE YOU LAST CAME BY, SEVERAL
 APPROACHES THAT WE HAVE MADE TO ARPA, BOTH FORMAL AND INFORMAL HAVE
 BEEN REJECTED.  IF I WERE LOOKING FOR A JOB RIGHT NOW, I BELIEVE
 THAT SRI-AI MIGHT BE A GOOD PLACE, PROVIDED ONE WERE ENTHUSIASTICALLY
 WILLING TO PURSUE THE IDEA OF COMMAND CONTROL THAT ARPA IS CURRENTLY
 PUSHING.  THE SRI-AI CENTER IS VERY LIKELY TO MOVE HEAVILY IN
 THAT DIRECTION, AND THEY WILL NEED EXCELLENT PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF
 WHO ARE ABLE TO TAKE AN INTERESTING IDEA AND REALLY MAKE A WORKABLE
 SYSTEM, RATHER THAN A TOY SYSTEM.
