Subject:  Communication Metrics
                 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Report March 28, 1997

Ref:   a. Welch letter May 12, 1997
          b. Intel letter May 12, 1997
          c. Welch letter May 9, 1997

Dear Dave,
Here is the report on Communication Metrics. A Scope of Services in appendix D sets out the process of adding intelligence to information. While it is a fundamental advance in work practice, I can initially provide Communication Metrics without Intel having to learn a new way to work. As with the Corps of Engineers, you can then evaluate the viability for the methodology at Intel. I would like to hear your ideas on this, and on Intel's needs, opportunities and strategies. Thanks for your consideration.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
