 Your name isn't on the list of blood donors  I just received from the
 Red Cross.   I want to know if  you really have donated--meaning they
 screwed up somehow.  If you haven't donated, I hope you can find time
 to make  an appointment and go  in on your  own.  (I realize  lots of
 people  haven't  been able  to  because of  illness,  vacation, etc.)
 Details about the  hours for donating,  the telephone number to  call
 for  an appointment,  and  how to  get  to the  Blood  Center are  in
 DONORS.MSG[AIL,BPM]. 
 
 Out of 26  who volunteered to  donate in February  or March, only  13
 have done so.  I encourage you to donate at your earliest convenience
 and let me know if and when you do.  Thanks.

 KRK wants to work here this summer.
 He has made an intensity map for the video synthesizer as free
 student labor.  He impresses me as knowing what he wants and
 as pretty sharp, aggressive, and competent.
 WHAT DOES QUAM THINK OF HIM?
 WHAT DOES HE PLAN TO DO THIS SUMMER?
 He wants to work with digital hardware and hopefully servos.  He
 is interested in working on things which are of high priority to
 us also.
 WHAT ARE HIS LONG RANGE PLANS
 He will go off for a year or longer to get some experience with
 digital design.  He may return for a PhD, or may decide that he
 will gain more by working in industry without a PhD.
 WHAT DOES HE GAIN OUT OF BEING HERE THIS SUMMER?
 He is seeking a job which does not open up until September or so.
 He wants to be in the bay area somewhat longer.  He enjoys working
 at the lab.
 WHAT DOES HE WANT IN PAY?
 He wants to work fulltime.  He needs at least $350 a month.  If
 it were impossible to be paid full time, he would consider halftime
 pay.

 Subject: Nuclear Energy
 To:   JMC at SU-AI
 
   I have decided that because I am so ill-informed about the 
 case for or against nuclear energy I would not make a 
 useful contribution to the deliberations of the "steering" committee
 for SENSE; so I won't come to Connolly's Tues. evening.
 
   I am sorry that it never came to pass that I gave a lecture to
 your class on the theory of computation; perhaps I should have
 reminded you.  In any case, I would still like to give such a
 presentation.  Incidentally, J  Moore just tonight discovered
 that our theorem prover was in fact capable of proving
 something, at least, about the Fibonacci function, namely
 that Fib(n) is equal to cdr(f(n)) where Fib has the usual defintion
 (fib (n) (cond ((zerop n) 0)((equal n 1) 1)(t (plus (fib (sub1 n))(fib (sub1
 (sub1 n)))))))
 and where f is the following "optimization" of fib, namely
 (f (n) (cond ((zerop n) (cons 0 0))((equal n 1) (cons 0 1))(t
 (cons (cdr (f (sub1 n)))(plus (car (f (sub1 n)))(cdr (f (sub1 n].

 I shall be glad to hear your ideas; but why are you prepared to give only
 half time support during the summer when it is/has been standard practice to
 give full time support? Is this because you are unhappy with what I'm doing?
 If so, say so, and I will argue with you, and make invidious comparisons...
 a.
 p.s. one of the reasons that has decided me against staying next year
 is that I really don't feel that I have been getting much (moral) support
 from you of late.  The way I look at it is this: I am one of the few people
 who seem to take seriously the idea of tackling real-world problems using the
 formalism of FOL, and as such I had expected that you would react with a 
 little more enthusiasm towards my efforts than you have.  In some (non-self-
 serving) sense I expect a little consideration for trying...  I have always
 had the feeling that you find my ideas banal, not to say boring.

 Some things I might do while you are away for you to consider:
 
 Write the Cusp document
 Write an ETV manual
 Design a new editor
 Begin to design a PUB replacment
 Continue work on ETV.
 
 I will only comment now that I think that E is a lost cause.  Any minor
 improvement to E costs about 4 times as much as it should because of the
 lack of organization. And in any case we need a significantly hairier
 editor than E will ever be.  I don't particularly advocate writing a new
 editor for this system, but enough is known about the new system that we
 should start thinking about its editor.  
 
 My personal plans are to stay around here for the summer if not for another
 year.  I don't know what I will decide to do about my education during that
 time.  I do want to move into a place where I have space to hack which
 means that I am going to ask you for something closer to a reasonable wage
 than what I am making now.  It doesn't seem right that you should have to
 practically support me because of random Stanford rules or whatever decided
 how much you were to pay me.

 Gary Morganthaller called to say that Tymshare is thinking of building a new
 assembler which will handle multiple relocation counters.  This feature is
 necessary to handle extended addressing in the KL10 properly.
 
 Now, FAIL already has half that feature, and with a little work it might be
 improved to the extent they desire.  My understanding is that if Tymeshare
 wants to use FAIL and if we (meaning me) want to do this mod, then they'll
 recompense us with machine "tyme".  Should I pursue this?

 John, I have the outline of a solitaire system in SOL[REP,DEW].  It is
 fully specified except for 2 disaster routines although not fully

 AS WE SEE IT YOUR SUGGESTION IS COMPOSED OF TWO IDEAS ---
 (A) PACKET SWITCHING
 (B) PACKET BROADCASTING
 AND THE FLEXIBILITY YOU MENTION IN PROVIDED BY THE CONNECTION FREEDOM
 OF IDEA (B) MORE THAN IDEA (A).  FOR A GOOD TREATMENT OF THE

 Re ACMization of DECUS paper, here are what I think are the important ideas:
 1. Even programs which do not obviously need a display capability (e.g.,
    SPELL) can be vastly improved by exploiting display features.
 2. Display support should be built into the system at a low level in a
    simple and uniform way, not programmed separately in each user program.
 3. It is okay and maybe even preferable to centralize the intelligence in
    the terminal system.
 4. Very high baud rates make a qualitative difference in what you can do.
    (e.g., WHO, NS, E)
 5. 2-D display capability is intimately connected to the ability to control
    multiple procedures effectively.  Users need this ability.
 Of these, I think the last is the most important, followed by #2.  Do you
 have any comments?

∂04-MAR-75  0957		ACT,REG
 Yes, I saw your comments to Les.  I believe the revised proposal
 incorporates most, if not all, of your suggestions.  There are still a
 couple of things I'd like to improve.  Lick says essentially that ARPA
 doesn't want to spend any money on operating systems "unless the need is
 specific and thoroughly justified." I believe we've made a case for the
 display work, because Lick himself already believes in it to some extent.
 I feel the file system thing is a little shakey.  I'd like to firm it up
 by adding more arguments in its favor (I've already added examples of
 why the present schemes are inadequate and that some of the MULTICS work
 is relevant so we don't have to reinvent things) but I feel there's a
 lack of conviction that the proposal is "thoroughly justified."

 Subject: AI FORUM - Delegate safety at IJCAI4
 To:   sigart at CMU-10B

 IJCAI4
 FROM: Vesko Marinov
 IMSSS, Stanford University				March 1, 1975
 Stanford, CA94304
 
 
 	The safety of the delegates to an international scientific
 conference is, in my opinion, essential for the normal conduct of the
 conference.  Furthermore it is important for the success of a 
 conference that anybody qualified and wishing to attend should feel free
 to do so.
 	I welcome the choice of Tbilisi as the site of IJCAI4, but only
 under the condition that all prospective delegates should feel safe
 to attend.  However, there are reasons to believe that the safety of
 some delegates, particularly those of East European origin, may be
 jeopardized by going to Tbilisi.  
 	Therefore I suggest that the organizing committee, including
 the Soviet organizers, coordinate opinions with the Soviet authorities
