Dear Gary,

Congratulations on excellent work in your two (2) letters on March 15, 2002 that provide helpful perspective on risks endemic to the practice of management. This is useful input for strengthening regulations and professional standards, so please keep me posted on when this powerful case study can be released. An example is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), recently reviewed on May 4 showing opportunities to improve contract performance by adding requirements for Communication Metrics.
..
Have you given any further thought to doing the requirements spec for the Schedule Diary System, discussed on March 27, that supports Com Metrics?

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
