Dear Mr. Gallagher,

\J	I delayed answering your April 16 letter until I knew whether I
would be in town.  As it turns out, I have been tapped to hand out the
degrees for the Computer Science Department, so I will definitely be in
town.

	If it suits you, we could get together for lunch or dinner and/or
you could visit the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and see what we
have done with your news service and other marvels of science.  Except
for my responsibility for part of the graduation ceremony itself, I shall
be free on that day and can schedule it at your convenience.\.

					Sincerely yours,



					John McCarthy
					Professor of Computer Science
					Director, Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
