Your agenda to evaluate this partnership is prescient and timely under the leadership crisis evident in an avalanche of downsizing and demands for new skills. The "New World Order" paper I reviewed in accepting your invitation to speak sounds a strong alert and offers compelling ideas to solve the debilitating time/information dilemma. By deploying new tools, skills and roles to convert information into knowledge, we can mainstream the process the military calls "intelligence". I am anxious to see these ideas tested in the field.

Conferences like Asilomar underscore the need for cultural change. I am looking forward to listening to your ideas and sharing my views.

Sincerely,

Henry J. Hatch Vice President
