Dear Donald:

\J	Thanks for your letter of the 19th of December in regard to the
8th International Machine Intelligence Workshop in June.  
Unfortunately I am not going to be able to attend after all.
I have gotten behind
in my research and feel that I shouldn't take off any large chunks of time.
Good luck with working out all the details and with the conference.\.



						Best Regards,
