Subject:   Meeting Today 2p on Endorsement of SDS

Pat,

This confirms telecon this morning that we are meeting at 2p in your office today about an endorsement of SDS and Com Metrics, per planning in the record on June 14, which was later submitted on July 2, ref SDS 97 0001, and discussed by phone on July 11.
..
Today, we want to craft a generic letter showing interest in SDS by responsible voices that lends weight and credibility to attract five (5) minutes of someone's time to examine SDS and Com Metrics.
..
An example, is Tom's letter received a few days ago, on July 26, asking about SDS, which you and I discussed this morning. Tom's work at SAIC, and interest in improving medical management shown by published papers on his website...

...and specifically his papers on health care....

...has a strong nexus with the record showing SDS strengthens the doctor/patient partnership that is the foundation of effective treatment, noted for example by Kaiser's published requirements, reviewed on June 25, 1999.
..
A recent meeting with the doctor illustrates support for medical management, and shows clearly why health care needs support.
..
Demand for intelligence support is growing everywhere, as seen by events on September 11, 2001, Enron, et al, however, health care will come under exceptional pressure for better management as the advancing age of baby boomers explodes on the medical community in the next 10 years.
..
If you have already developed ideas for edits, submit a copy and I can review during the train ride to prepare for an effective meeting.
..
Thanks.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
