Dear Ed:

	This is to remind you about the need to write a Fredkin
Foundation check for \$2,500 made out to the American Association
for Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and send it to  AAAI at

445 Burgess Dr.
Menlo Park, CA 94025-3496

to the attention of Claudia Mazzetti.

	You recall that you agreed to pay the expenses of Prof. Tullio
Regge coming from Italy to take part in the Conference on Computers
and Mathematics last summer.  These expenses were paid by David Chudnovsky
personally.  You sent me a check for \$2,500 made out to Stanford
University, but it turned out that Stanford couldn't serve as
intermediary in the matter for some bureaucratic reason, and
I sent back the check when it was agreed that AAAI could do it,
since AAAI was a sponsor of the meeting.

	Regge came to the meeting (I saw him), and Chudnovsky has
sent AAAI (namely, Claudia Mazzetti) suitable evidence that he
paid Regge's expenses.

	I supply all these details, so that you can delegate the
matter of preparing a check made out to AAAI and sending it.

Best Regards,

John McCarthy
