090709 -    ..
090710 -    The difficulty with is that project management is being
090711 -    presented as pervasive, ref SDS 7 line 202, so deciding the
090712 -    boundaries between plain old communication and project
090713 -    communication is problematic.  I ask Max about this at ref DIT 1
090714 -    line 44.
090715 -
090716 -    There is a lot of material on project communication if we look at
090717 -    the project manuals for Turner, Bechtel, MK, and so on, what they
090718 -    call their cook books. I mention this in responding to Max, ref DIT
090719 -    1 line 32.  Turner presented some of this in preparing for the
090720 -    Asilomar Conference, which was discussed at a meeting on 960529.

090723 -    A discussion with Steve Rule in 1995 covered distinctions of
090724 -    Project Communications, ref SDS 2 line 127.
090725 -
090726 -    We can look at contract specs for notice provisions, and develop
090727 -    secrets of communication, which was a theme we wanted to develop
090728 -    with Turner at Asilomar last year, ref SDS 4 line 177, ref SDS 3
090729 -    line 187, ref SDS 3 line 293.  Turner resisted every step feeling
090730 -    that ignoring these practices "expedites" the work, ref SDS 8 line
090731 -    154.
