Dear Mr. Colicchio:

	Enclosed is a statement on the state of the art in robotics
as it relates to the Quasar claims.  I hope it will serve your purpose,
but I can revise it if you would like some additional points covered.

	While Quasar's false claims in their demonstrations at
department stores and television studios are annoying and somewhat
harmful, I am not sure that making them stop by legal means is
appropriate.  The possibility of their defrauding consumers or
investors by taking deposits on what they can't deliver is my
main concern.  This worry would be substantially relieved if they
were required by injunction or consent decree to take deposits only
into an escrow account if at all.

	If they are not and don't take money fraudulently, perhaps
criticism by scientists and other disbelievers is all we are entitled
to.  I worry about involving the government in deciding who can
make what claims about what they will do in the future except in
so far as it involves fraud.

P.S. Needless to say, I would be grateful to be informed about
how matters develop.  There seems to be some hope that the 
Australian media will prove less gullible than those in the
United States.
