Dear Mike,


Per your request in

our telecon today,
Dr. Moonja Kim

reviewed Communication Metrics
 on Nov 4, 1997; and, again at

HQUSACE
on Dec 2, 1997.


Your education and research in

artifical intelligence
provides a powerful perspective on adding an "intelligence" role to support
management.  Thanks for your ideas and direction.  If time permits, comments
on the POIMS and NWO papers would be appreciated.


Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY






Rod Welch
