	I didn't realize there was any more paperwork to be done
in connection with the promotion of Dick Gabriel.  I supposed, as
has been true in the past, that the Department's vote was all the
action required.  However, the level of stupid bureaucracy at Stanford
is always increasing.  Please transmit my protest and ill wishes to
whoever is asking for the additional paper.

	The following is the document that was prepared for the faculty,
although I don't remember if it was actually distributed.  Can you
manufacture the necessary paperwork from it, or do you need more?  The
resume can be obtained from him.

	"We propose to promote Dr. Richard P. Gabriel from Research
Associate to Senior Research Associate in the Formal Reasoning 
Group.  Dick has performed outstandingly both in research and
in organization.  He has led our Common Lisp effort managing
our relations with Livermore and DARPA and has written good
papers that have been accepted for the next Lisp conference
on parallel processing in Lisp and on his measurements of speed
of Lisp implementations.  DARPA has accepted several proposals
based on his work, and he is playing a major role in responding
to DARPA's interest in supercomputing for AI.

	His resume is attached."
