Dear Mr. McClure:

\J
	Enclosed is a list of some pertainent reference material, and copies
of the available Stanford University reports on their work in robotics and
artificial intelligence.  The JPL reports are analytical in nature, but good
as background and program planning references.  The M.I.T. report mentioned
refers to their thinking about what they planned
to do with their arm.  
Stanford research Institute has a model M.I.T. arm, as well as the larger
Stanford Arm, but they are still in the process of developing their computer
interface.

	I have also enclosed some preliminary information on the arm and the
interface requirements to enable you to proceed at your end in advance of the
actual delivery of the arm.  

	Should you have any furthur questions please feel free to contact me.\.
