Dear Dr. Walker,

Thank you for your request for a copy of my recent paper,
%2Synthesis of Large Programs from
Specific Dialogues%*. In addition to this SPIP paper, I am enclosing
a copy of a related paper which is to be presented at
the World Congress on Cybernetics and Systems (Bucharest, August, 1975).
The second half of that paper describes the project I am now working on
for my dissertation (the Automated Mathematician system).
If that summary catches your interest, a more lengthy
copy of my dissertation proposal is available.

I shall read yet another paper on the PUP6 synthesis system
at the coming IJCAI (Tbilisi, September), but  its brevity
seriously hinders the amount of new content.
If you wish a copy anyway,   please write me.

Let me personally invite you,
if you happen to be near Stanford this coming year,
to come to the Aritificial Intelligence Lab -- for a seminar,
discussion, or just a tour.
