Dan's Phase I Final Report

Dear Dan,

As you know, your paper requires careful study. I have a general outline now for thinking about your project.

One thing that stands out is the potential for greater use of partnership in business transactions. This leads to a new work role which I call Common Administration. When time permits, see what you think, particularly in relation to your background in contracting. There are two recent examples applying this idea.

Sincerely,

THE WELCH COMPANY
