Review Process

Dear Sally,

Thanks for facilitating contact with Dan Palanza, who has now indicated interest in discussing the project.

Tom Landauer advised today he cannot do the proposal review, and it appears he cannot facilitate contact with Steve Pinker. I have asked Tom to suggest other reviewers, and have made further inquiries. Can you please explain the level of effort and schedule for the review process?

Thanks very much for your help.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
