Subject:  Communication Metrics

Dear Jim,

Thanks very much for expediting review of Communication Metrics with your memo to Barry Holliday. Consideration might be given to demonstrating Communication Metrics on the Internet for reducing the time and cost of paper handling, by forwarding this letter. It provides access to your report on Jan 6 with related background, and shows how USACE can strengthen management and leadership by effectively moving toward a paperless office environment.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY

Rod Welch
