SRI:
THE AMA MEETING IN ATLANTIC CITY IS BEING HELD JUNE 15 TO 19. I DONT
THINK THIS WILL PRESENT ANY PROBLEMS FOR OUR GROUP OF PHYSICIANS, BUT
IT MIGHT FOR THE PROSPECTIVE INVITEES TO THE GENERAL SESSION(NEW
DESIGNATION FOR THE CONFERENCE). SO ONE WAY OF OVERCOMING THIS IS
TO HAVE THE GEN.SES. ON THE 14TH, AND POSSIBLY ATTRACT MORE OF 
THE GROUP THAN WOULD OTHERWISE COME IF THEY THEN CAN GO ON TO
ATLANTIC CITY THE NEXT DAY. IT WOULD ALSO ELIMINATE THE 
PROBLEM OF HAVING TO MAKE A DOUBLE OVERVIEW PRESENTATION
FOR EACH OF THE GROUPS- ONE ON THE OPENING DAY OF THE WKSHOP, THE OTHER
FOR GENSESSION.THE DISADVANTAGE IS THAT WE WILL NOT HAVE
HAD THE BENEFIT OF 3 DAYS OF INTERACTION SO THERE IS LIKELY TO BE
MORE REPETITION AND POSSIBLE MISUNDERSTANDINGS BETWEEN THE GROUPS.
I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE MINIMIZED IF WE GET AN EARLY START ON
THE EXCHANGE OF IDEAS AND PROGRAM INFORMATION, AS YOU INDICATED IN
THE MESSAGE OF FEB9TH TO THE  PLANNING GROUP.
PLEASE SEND YOUR REACTIONS
REGARDS,
KAZ
P.S.
SAFIR THINKS THAT THE PROPOSED GENSESSION AT THE BEGINNNING IS MUCH
BETTER. CHUCK, PLEASE COMMENT ON THE TIMING FOR THE PSYCHOLOGY GROUP.
