180729 -    2.  Cal has indicated that there is not a staff at Northrop Grumman
180730 -        who is available to meet; yet, he also reported that a bunch of
180731 -        people were exercised by a recent letter you submitted listing
180732 -        action items that have been pending for many months, and which
180733 -        will become critical in the period ahead, as your M&S group

180742 -         ..
180743 -    4.  An idea we considered this morning is calling Cal to ask for
180744 -        advice on how you can help him expedite the work.  At some
180745 -        point, you will be forced to escalate the matter to your boss,
180746 -        but is there a way to make the "squeaky wheel"  constructive,
180747 -        rather than confrontational?  What are Cal's thoughts?

180754 -    5.  For example, if his time is limited for helping your group, is
180755 -        there a telephone number for the ACE people in Seattle who can
180756 -        be contacted to explore issues and solutions, with the
180757 -        understanding that any actual work will be coordinated through
180758 -        Cal?  Might it be helpful for you and Cal to visit with his
