C⊗;
	I plan to be in Washington on Tuesday and Wednesday, April 4 and
5, and could be there on Monday April 3 if it made a difference.  Would
it be possible to visit ARPA on either of those days and discuss the
Stanford renewal proposal.  If it were possible to meet Dr. Fossum,
that would be great.

	I have read that the Congress and Administration are more
favorable to basic research than they have been in recent years.
If this change extends to ARPA, we would like to orient our proposal
more in basic research directions than we have in recent years.
