Subject:   LANL Reseach SDS for Saving Time Money

Dear Cliff,

Talked to John Hodgen in your office today and he suggested I submit a letter to you following up our discussions in January 2001 on your paper. There may be several research opportunities you can pursue, as John and I discussed.
..
On a related matter, I was pleased to respond in January 2001 to your request for peer review on an important paper concerning KM which you had written. At that time, I asked about getting your comments on the treatment of knowledge management which had recently been added to POIMS. Unfortuantely, limited time has prevented progress; yet, advancing KM requires at some point understanding methodologies that are effective, as you related on April 25, 2000.
..
It would be particularly helpful to get a formal analysis that expands on your presentation at SRI on July 25, 2000 concerning SDS, and this would support a proposal on demonstrating the application of SDS for saving time and money, as John and I discussed today.
..
Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
