Dear Dr. Aufenkamp
Regarding our phone conversation on March 21, enclosed is our proposal
which I would like to talk to you about when I come to Washington.
Unless I hear to the contrary, I will arrive 10:00 A.M. April 1.

Kent Curtis's section seems not to be appropriate for  this proposal,
but  since you  know him,  perhaps  he would  be willing  to give  us
advice.

The  NSF describes  the  Techniques and  Systems Program:  " Supports
research which  converts  the advances  in  computer science  to  new
computer-based methodologies for research.  Possible projects include
interactive techniques, on-line and real-time systems,  hierarchiccal
computing,  and other applications of  recent development in computer
and communication technology".  It certainly does seem to be the slot
for our proposal, I hope that they feel the same.

On the evening of Thursday, March  28,  I will leave for Colgate  and
see you either there or at the labs, then to Washington the next week
to  talk to Moraff at NSF,  and then to Berlin.   I hope to return to
Stanford for a  month this summer  in order to  finish a piece I  had
hoped to complete  this winter (as Dick Moore  pointed out, better to
try and get support  for the project than  compose my last piecce  at
Stanford).

Should you  have  any suggestions  after my  departure, contact  Andy
Moorer at the A.I. Lab, extension 4971, 415 321-2300.  I look forward
to seeing you soon.

			       With much love form us all to you all,
