 When I send you my best mailing address and telephone number, do a PLAN
 command while logged in as ess,jmc.  Put in that I will be gone till
 approximately 30 June and my address and telephone number and that AI
 Laboratory matters should be referred to Les.

 The syllabus is tolerable to me.  I suggest you include my review of the
 Lighthill report that appeared in the AI Journal, but this is not a strong
 suggestion.

 I agree with the content of your message.  I can't go into detail, because I'm
 returning to Japan in 10 minutes.  However,
 	1. Why don't we suggest a two weak AI applications study group
 in Washington this summer.  The first two in August would suit me, but
 there could be others from Stanford.
 	2. I agree that Heilmeier's suggestions are dubious, but I got
 an idea that maybe his attack on AI has run out of internal steam and
 all he wants now is some kind of symbolic redirection.  As you say, it is
 hard to imagine enlarging the Morse effort, and the language recognition
 is for the speech group, leaving ASW as the only possibility which might
 be hard to declassify.
 	3. We have decided to pursue the car-finder that I mentioned
 without further ado in the hopes of having a silver bullet in three
 months.  I don't know if you remember what I said about my meeting
 with Tactical technology in which they said they would be impressed by
 such a demo into thinking that scene analysis might have target finding
 applications.
 	4. I am a bit happier with the list of AI science topics that
 Russell put on the board than I am with the list in your memo, because in
 xx it includes the problems that interest me.  In general, if Russell gets
 his way, we don't have a qualitative problem we can't adjust to - only
 some budgetary problems.
 	5.  If someone had the time, the best use of it in the next week
 or so (sorry about weak earlier in the message) might be to put flesh on
 the list of scientific problems that Russell posted and to formulate
 a proposal for the summer study that a number of groups could agree to
 including how to sanitize classified info.

 Incidentally, the first character of each line of yrs was lost.
