Dear Dave,

clearance should be passed, using a DOE Form DF-277, to Ann Bondarenko, US

questions regarding the process for passing your clearance, Ms. Bondarenko can be
reached at [phone].
As always, we will appreciate. constructive criticisms of the current issue. While
we recognize a few shortcomings in the issue that will be corrected in Issue 4, we
hope you find Issue 3 to be a significantly enhanced tool for your use.
We would also like to request that you bring or send a brief informal statement of
the sorts of uses you are making of the data base. This will help us to make the
data base most responsive to your needs.
Included on the agenda for the meeting, in addition to the usual status reports and
working session, will be a presentation about the Information Handling Committee
and a report from our newest sponsor, the Foreign Technology Division of the Air

Mike Cannon of Los Alamos to give a briefing on array processors and signal

We hope you will be able to participate in this meeting. It provides a mechanism
for a very useful exchange of ideas and directions.
