          c. Bill's letter Aug 7, 1998

Dear Bill,


Thanks for

letter on Aug 7,
submitting information on Navy procurement which, along with a range of other
sources, seems to indicate Communication Metrics is a good direction, as shown
in the

analysis on 980807.




Separately, I sent some

interaction with USACE
to answer your question today
about the status of that effort.




Have you had a chance to review the Communication Metrics

web site?
Does it help people understand the advantage of adding

intelligence
to management?




Sincerely,


THE WELCH COMPANY
