                Meeting Note Distribution
 

Dear Robert,


Per

our discussion
this morning, the

doc log
now has a current list of project
documents, which

you requested
on Oct 30, 1998


 


We discussed on Nov 6, 1998 making

distribution to Gensler of outstanding meeting notes.  Ivan has held
notes pending your review and determination of procedures.  You have reasonably
withheld distribution pending meeting with Gensler to develop joint procedures
for identification and distribution, with the result that there are about

7 sets of meeting notes
that need to be issued to Gensler.




Some possible
langauge to consider with respect to the

duty of notice
is in the record of our
discussion on Nov 6.  This might be used in some form before or after meeting
with Gensler.  It seems essential to explain why there has been a
delay in submission of meeting notes.




Reasons for delayed distribution are...







    

        
  1.  Gensler has issued mixed instructions on procedures.
       
    
       
  2.  Accelerated schedule, caused by Gensler's failure to provide project
       management within industry standards, that has reduced time for review
       to ensure a record that supports the project design, which is complex
       and so requires careful review.
       
    
       
  3.  Change in personnel, elevating Robert Rudeen to supplement KH management
       presence on project, that requires adjustments in review procedures
       which have taken time to implement.



       




Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY
