Dear Takayasu,

\J	I am still thinking seriously about spending my sabbatical
in Japan.  If I do, it would be nine months between June 1974 and
September 1975 chosen to fit the Japanese academic schedule.  Igarashi
has made some proposals which I like and I will commit myself in fall
1974.

	I hope you will be able to visit Stanford again during your
travels.\.
