Dear Professor Irani:

\J	Mr. Nevatia is currently finishing
a first class thesis, and I can recommend him highly.  I think he will continue to 
do original research, and while he is rather quiet, I would also predict success
as a teacher.

	Jerry Feldman and Tom Binford, both of our laboratory, know him better
than I do.\.


							Sincerely yours,



							John McCarthy
