Cā;
Here is a copy of a message from Lick, requesting for the third time
some supplementary information on Luckham's Pascal work and Weyhrauch's
LCF work. The original request came on October 25, in response to my
"bullets" message, and I relayed it to both of them immediately.
When, at the end of a week, neither of them had written anything, I
sent Lick the answers to the rest of his questions, saying that DCL
and RWW would send him supplementary information directly. I bugged
them several more times but still nothing happened.
On November 29, I received a second request from Lick asking for the
same information. I relayed it and asked them once again to do it.
When Lick subsequently announced he was coming here, I suggested that
they send it to him before he comes. Both decided they would tell him
when he got here.
Clearly, Licklider still isn't satisfied. I am willing to write about
things that I think I understand, but that does not extend to this area.
Neither Richard nor David has completed even a draft of their parts
of the proposal as yet. If this kind of nonsense continues, I am afraid
we are in for deep trouble as a laboratory.

My recollection of the exchange re accomplishments to which
you refer is that you sent a list, I wrote asking for augmentation
in certain respects, you replied, giving further information on some
topics and saying I would hear directly from others on other topics.
To best of my knowledge, I have not heard from
the others except at the time of my recent visit. Not having
received the papers from it yet, I rather need the supplementary
material. If you need to know specifically which or what supplementary
material, I'll find the message and detail it. Sorry to
bring this up in a rush at Christmastime.
Regards
Lick
