NOTE FOR: Mr. Brownman v ja--Mr:
I don't think it is or will be timely
to go with (1) and it is my recollection
you already responded to

Quite candidly, I feel MSAG is going
through the formality of preparing an agenda,
and they would much prefer to take this
opportunity to hear you discuss your views
on broad policy management problems facing
the Agency.
