Dear George:
Congratulations are indeed in order for your leadership in developing
Metrotech and I am happy to do what I can to persuade the President
to be the main speaker at the celebration on Thursday, May 28.
You and your associates can indeed be proud of what you have
accomplished and Metrotech serves as a model for the urban centers of
all of our great cities today.
The President's speaking schedule is never finalized until about six
weeks prior to the actual event as I am sure you will understand, but
having the request in the files at an early point certainly helps. So
having your letter and that of Joe Jacobs on hand now is certainly a
move in the right direction. What I shall do is follow up with a
memorandum to the head of the scheduling office, Ms. Kathy Super, and
at a later time will talk to the President himself about the occasion.
In the meantime, let me take this occasion to wish you and your family
a very merry Christmas and the happiest, healthiest and most rewarding
of New Years.
With warm regards,
Sincerely yours,
Allan

SUBJECT:
POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY REQUEST
The attached letter to the President from George Bugliarello, the President of the
Polytechnic University of New York, is self-explanatory and I realize that you will not
be scheduling for May until much closer to the actual event.
I have had an opportunity to see this Metrotech development in New York and I
believe that its dedication would provide an excellent opportunity for the President to
make a major address relating to science and technology, and to its role in
revitalizing urban economies.
I will be happy to provide any additional information that I might have that would be
useful to you in considering this request. If at all possible I would urge you to try to
include it among the major talks scheduled for the President during this coming
summer.

Dear Mr. Blume:
Thank you very much for your letter describing the activities of the Society of
Elementary Presidential Awardees. It is very gratifying to know that those singled out
by the award are continuing to demonstrate their leadership, in part by pooling their
expertise and enthusiasm in mathematics and science education. That is one of the
major reasons why the award was created.
I am afraid that I will not be able to write a separate essay to be included in your
December newsletter. However, I will include with this letter the text of the remarks I
delivered at the Carnegie Institution. You may publish any portion of those remarks
that you deem appropriate.

Dear Dr. Bromley:
It was a pleasure meeting you at the Presidential Awards Ceremony in Washington,
D.C. earlier this month. As president of the Society of Elementary Presidential Awardees, I
speak for all elementary mathematics and science teachers when I say that we appreciate
that elementary teachers are being recognized for their contributions to the education of this
nation's youth. We accept the honor that accompanies the Presidential Awards for
Excellence in Science and Mathematics Teaching graciously; but, more importantly, we
accept the responsibility to take a leadership role in educating children for life in an
increasingly scientific and technological world.
As a result of the Presidential Awards program, we have already taken actions to
fulfill this responsibility. During the past year, the Society of Presidential Awardees has
become an operating organization with constitution and officers. In its short history, the
organization has provided input into national educational reform efforts. Members of the
organization contributed to a National Science Foundation-sponsored conference in which
members met with NSF program officers to discuss how Presidential Awardees can take
leadership roles to promote national education reform. In addition, members participated in
the National Summit for Mathematics Assessment last April. Members are also involved in
the Mathematical Sciences Education Leadership Network, a computer conferencing
network designed to support the mathematics reform efforts of key mathematics
organizations. We plan to continue our efforts in these and other areas.
We thought you might be interested in the actions we have taken and thought you
might like an opportunity to address the elementary Presidential Awardees of the
importance of their efforts in providing leadership in educational reform. We would be
honored if you would take the time-to write an essay to be included in the December
organization newsletter.
Sincerely,
Alene Blum

Dear Dr. Barr:
Thank you for your letter of August 6 which arrived while I was out of the country.
In it you tell me of your invitation to President Bush to speak at your conference next
year scheduled to take place in San Francisco, February 25-27.
The scheduling is such that, although the invitation will be in the scheduling mill, you
will not receive any concrete answer until between six weeks and two months prior to
the event. I will, however, be happy to talk with the individual who is in charge of
scheduling such Presidential appearances and add my suggestion that this would be
an excellent occasion to speak concerning the Presidential initiative on high
performance computing and communication.
With all best wishes,

Dear Dr. Bromley:
As the chairman of the 1992 IEEE COMPCON Conference Technical Program Committee, I have asked
President Bush if he would consider being a keynote speaker for the conference. As the President's science
advisor, I would like to ask your help with our request.
As stated in our letter to the President and as you may know, COMPCON is the IEEE Computer Society's
annual conference and it draws a good mix of computer scientists from both industry and academia with
considerable international attendance. We have had special sessions on the High Performance Computing
Initiative in the past, and will have a session this year concerning the Grand Challenges and the Federal High
Performance Computing and Communications program led by Dr. Paul Huray from the University of South
Carolina.
It would be of great benefit for the IEEE Computer Society to have President Bush as a keynote speaker at
next years conference. The IEEE Computer Society is a supporter of HPCC and many of the presenters and
attendees will be members of the industrial and research community associated with high performance
computing and communications. I have been told that you have participated in past COMPCON conferences.
Your support this year will be appreciated
Please have someone contact me if you have any questions regarding the conference. My electronic mail
address is [email protected] if that is more convenient.

Dear Mr. President:
On behalf of the IEEE COMPCON '92 program committee I would like to invite you to be a special keynote
speaker at next years conference which is scheduled to take place in San Francisco, California, Feb. 25 - 27,
1992. Should you accept, your keynote address can be scheduled for any day of the conference. Given the
demands on your schedule, we would be flexible with the time of your presentation.
Our keynote speeches are normally one hour in duration in a morning session from 8:30 10:30 AM. On
Wednesday mornings, we only have one keynote speaker followed by an IEEE Computer Society Awards
Ceremony honoring key contributors and pioneers of the IEEE Computer Society. These awards are
presented by the president of the IEEE Computer Society.
COMPCON is the IEEE Computer Society's annual conference and it draws a good mix of computer
scientists from both industry and academia with considerable international attendance. It is a technical
conference, not an exhibit. Attendance varies from 800-1200 people. Topics will include high-performance
computing systems, multi-media systems, and the latest technological advances in microprocessors and
workstations.
We are open to hear you speak on any topic you choose. We are interested in your reflections on learning
how to utilize a computer or your view of the impact of the "Federal High Performance Computing and
Communications (HPCC) Program on the United States' research and industrial communities as well as on
education.
Please have someone contact me if you have any questions regarding the conference. My electronic mail
address is [email protected] if that is more convenient.

I am pleased to invite you or your representative to attend
the U.S. General Accounting Office's conference on U.S.
Communications Policy: Issues for the 1990s. The one-day
meeting will be held Monday, February 11, 1991, from 8:00
a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the ANA-Westin Hotel in Washington,
D.C.
The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for high
level congressional, government, industry, and academic
representatives to explore and debate critical
communications policy issues. The conference will be
composed of four roundtable discussions, each of which will
address a separate policy issue. We hope to use the results
of these discussions to determine the course of future
research and ultimately to assist policymakers in
developing a communications policy framework for the next
decade. Enclosed is a brochure that provides additional
detail on the specific policy issues to be discussed and the
conference format, as well as a list of the invited
panelists.
We have invited Congressman Edward J. Markey, Chairman,
Telecommunications and Finance Subcommittee, House
Committee on Energy and Commerce, as our luncheon speaker.
As subcommittee chairman, Congressman Markey presides over
interstate and foreign communications, including all
telecommunications and information transmission by wire,
microwave, and satellite.
A $50 registration fee is required to cover meeting costs,
including the luncheon and refreshments. Space for this
conference is limited, and is available on a first-come,
first-served basis. If you wish to attend, please return
the enclosed registration form in the envelope provided, or

Dear Dr. Bromley:
I am writing to invite you to speak at our Conference for Government Executives
entitled "Seminar on Issues in Science and Technology Policy," which will be held in
Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia, March 3-8, 1991.
These seminars bring together 30-40 top government scientists to examine the role of
science and technology in shaping public policy; to review current scientific
developments in such fields as biotechnology, information technology and space; and
to analyze current science and technology policy issues faced by the Administration
and the Congress.
We would be delighted if you could meet with the group on Thursday evening, March
7, on the topic "Science and Technology Policy Priorities of the Bush Administration,"
in the North Room which is located in the Cascades Conference Center. The evening
would begin with a reception at 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner, your presentation of 20-
30 minutes, and open discussion until around 9:00 p.m. Brookings will, of course,
cover your travel and hotel expenses. If this time is not convenient, other times
during the week are possible.
If you are able to accept this invitation, I will be happy to provide additional details
regarding the seminar. I look forward to hearing from you and hope very much that
you will be able to speak at the seminar.

change on natural hazards. The desire to emphasize the link between climate change and
natural hazards arises from the declaration, by the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the
United Nations, of the 1990's as the International Decade for Natural Hazard Reduction.
Topics of the symposium will include outlining strategies for prediction, prevention and
adaptation, as well as the response of both engineering and governments to the changing forces
of nature.
We would be honored if you would attend the symposium, and present a lecture, tentatively
entitled "Challenges of the Decade: Natural Hazards and Climate Change." The two-day
symposium is scheduled for the week of January 13-17, 1992, and will be held at facilities on
the MIT campus. A proposal for sponsorship has been submitted to the National Science
Foundation. At this time we would like an indication of your interest in participating in the
symposium.
If you would like more information about the planned symposium, or the MIT Center for
Global Change Science, please do not hesitate to contact either Anne Slinn, the Center's
Administrative Scientist (Phone: 617-253-4902, Fax: 617-253-0354), or myself (Phone: 617-253-
2117). For your interest, please find attached a preliminary symposium schedule, and a list of
the invited (but not yet confirmed) speakers.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Dear Joe:
Warmest congratulations on your appointment as managing partner of the
Washington, D.C. office of KPMG Peat Marwick! This is a major responsibility that
I know you will handle with both style and effectiveness based on the more than 20
years that we worked together on the affairs of UNC Incorporated.
I have had only tangential contact with the UNC Board since my arrival in
Washington but the impression I get is that Dan Colossy has finally turned into a
successful company by shearing off many of the difficult subsidiaries.
Please give me best regards to David Fowler on his retirement from your firm. It was
a pleasure getting to know and work with him over the years as well. I gather that
Steve Harlan is now in New York and hope that all goes well for him.
Let me take this occasion to wish you a very merry Christmas and may 1992 be a
very happy, healthy and rewarding year for all of the Boyles.
Sincerely yours,
Allan

Dear Dr. Brill:
Thank you very much for your invitation to write an article on creativity for
Productivity and Creativity - in science and technology. Creativity in science is a
tremendously important subject and one that has too often been overlooked. But
given the number of commitments on my schedule -- particularly as we head into a
new budget cycle and an election year -- it is going to be impossible for me to
prepare an article for your newsletter. I wish you the best of luck with it and hope
you meet with great success.

Dear Rich:
Many thanks for sending me the copy of the Compendium of U.S. Science and
Technology Activities in Developing Countries. This is an enormous useful report and
i am glad that it was prepared under the CISET/FCCSET Committee.
I want also to respond to your letter of November 14 concerning the CFCs and their
future in India. I quite agree with you that negotiations with the Government of
India are extremely delicate and the outcome can never be predicted with any
certainty.
I was very much interested in your suggestion that the private sector in India to be
utilized to address the CFC problem because in the light of the most recent scientific
discoveries the CFCs take on much renewed importance as a consequence of their
destruction of ozone, although to the great surprise of just about everyone in the
global climate change arena, it seems that the greenhouse impact of the CFCs--gases
that used to be considered the most powerful of the greenhouse arsenal--is essentially
zero.
I would enthusiastically support your initiative to use the private sector to get
discussions under way with respect to minimizing the use of CFCs in India in the
future. I found the summary of your conference to be a very interesting one and will
be prepared to help in any way I can in furthering your suggested approach.
I believe that you are very much on the right track here and do let me know when
and how I can be of help.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

the Committee on International Science, Engineering and
Technology (CISET).
The Compendium was compiled under the auspices of the CISET
Subcommittee on Science and Technology in Developing Economies
(SATIDE), with the active participation of 13 federal agencies
and departments. The document provides a comprehensive overview
of the diverse range of federally supported scientific programs
and projects in developing countries.
In providing baseline data, the Compendium will contribute
significantly to an examination of the United States' future
priorities for science and technology in the developing world.
As this will be an evolving process, the tools have been

To facilitate use of the Compendium, each activity is cross-
referenced to a list of key words and the name and phone number
of the appropriate contact person for that activity. In addition
to key words, data can be extracted by agency, sector, country,

Dear Lew:
It was a pleasure talking with you and David Robinson about your report on the
Federal role in math and science education and I want to thank you for your own
personal commitment and contribution to the ongoing discussion of improved math
and science education in this country.
I completely agree with you that a key element of our future activity must involve a
clear establishment of the relative roles of the National Science Foundation and the
Department of Education. This is something that we are actively working on at the
present time but, as you appreciate only too well, there are some intrinsic problems
that are extremely difficult to resolve. Your report is of major help to us in our
activities in the education field and I congratulate you upon it.
I shall send you a copy of the report turned out by the FCCSET Committee on
Mathematics and Science Education to accompany this year's budget submission to
the Congress as soon as it becomes available. I think that you will find it of interest
and perhaps a significant improvement over our first effort a year ago.
With warmest best wishes for all the best in the upcoming New Year,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Allan,
After almost thirty years at the Research Center, ten of which have been spent
as Director of Research, I have made the decision to take early retirement
effective March 31, 1992.
I will continue in my current position through the end of 1991 leading the
day-to-day activities of the Research Center and insuring that a smooth tran-
sition is made to my successor's becoming Director on January 1. From then
until the end of March, I plan to work out of the Research Center to complete
a variety of activities for which I have made commitments and to carry out
several special assignments for the UTC Corporate Office of Science and
Technology.
My plans beyond March are still in a formative stage, but I will be spending
more time with my family and will begin to do some of those "nice-to-do-
someday" projects we all dream of. I plan to remain professionally active and
expect to do some consulting and special project work in the areas of my
expertise.
This was a tough decision. The Research Center has been such an important
part of my life not only because of the technical and leadership chal-
lenges, but also because of the people who have been very special to me. But
after long and careful thought, it became clear that no time is the right
time. Both my wife, Dottie, and I are looking forward to this "commencement"
and to a continuing association with the many friends we have developed at
UTC, UTRC and through my professional affiliations.
Thanks for your friendship and for helping make my years at the Research
Center and my chosen career such a rewarding experience.
Very truly yours,

Dear Dr. Bromley:
Your central role in the establishment, via the Defense Authorization Act of FY 1991,
of the National Critical Technologies Panel and the Subcommittee on Materials is an
excellent example of the dynamic interplay of Congress and the Executive Branch with
regards to technology. It is of considerable interest to those of us in the ceramic
industry in the United States. On behalf of the Engineering Ceramics Division
(ECD), American Ceramic Society (ACerS), I would like to invite you to serve on a
panel discussion, The Legislative and Policy Bases of Technology at our annual
Division Meeting in Cocoa Beach, Florida, Thursday, January 9, 1992 from 4:30 6:30
p.m. at the Cocoa Beach Holiday Inn.
This will be the Fifth Annual Meeting in our Business of Technology Panel series.
These panels are attended by approximately 400 to 450 individuals representing
university and federal laboratories plus marketing, research, manufacturing and sales
personnel from industry. In addition to members from the ECD, we expect members
of the United States Advanced Ceramics Association (USACA), a trade association,
and leaders from student branches of the National Institute of Ceramic Engineers
from approximately 40 universities. This would represent a wonderful opportunity for
us to learn first hand how the policy process functions. If you can not personally
attend, we would welcome your recommendation of an alternate.
We are, of course, prepared to pay your travel and lodging expenses. For planning
purposes you should know that the other panel discussions will lead directly into the
cocktail hour preceding the Conference Banquet. This time will provide additional
opportunities to converse with interested attendees.
Your involvement in materials is of considerable importance to all of us in the
ceramics community. We hope that you will be able to participate in this panel

Dear Dr. Bromley,
It was a pleasure to meet you at dinner last
Thursday. I have heard so many wonderful things
about you and the important impact you are having
on S&T.
Dr. Herzfeld has asked me to work with him on the PCAST
Panel on National Security. I am finding this to be
a very interesting effort and hope I can contribute
in some small way.
As is the custom for such dinners, I have totalled our
dinner bill and divided by the total number of people.
This computes to fifty dollars a person.
I look forward to seeing you again.
Sincerely yours,
S_ M.

SAFETY PAPER
THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
September 20, 1991
Dear Laney:
You asked some rather difficult questions, but let me try to give you at least a few
brief answers.
Perhaps the most important thing to keep in mind, with respect to your college
career, is to keep as many as your options open as possible for as long as possible.
Too many people by far narrow their focus much too early in their academic career.
With the excellent record that you have already established, it is clear that you can
do just about anything that you may wish to in the years ahead and so you should
look on college as preparing you for a broad range of possible career paths rather
than from any very specific one. From the sound of things, your interests lie in the
technical areas with a strong language and perhaps international flavor as well. This,
of course, is an excellent total area and one with exciting career possibilities.
Although it may be hard for you to recognize it at the present time, if you are to
open fully the possible range of careers, particularly those having a scientific and
mathematical component at their core, it will be desirable for you to think in terms of
an eventual doctorate in one of the fields.
Although you may wish to mix science, mathematics, and international affairs, it is
very definitely the case that you should begin by getting a deep understanding of one
of those areas and then moving to add others at a later time. That being the case, it
is also very true that your focus initially should be on the science and mathematics
because it is much easier to add the foreign languages and the international affairs to
a strong foundation in mathematics and science than the other way around.
What I would then suggest would be an undergraduate program that had strong
mathematics and science, possibly a science or mathematics major with the choice
between them being relatively unimportant. Plus a strong minor in one or more
foreign languages with a strong measure of English, history, and perhaps a little
political science thrown in. I cannot emphasize how important it is to take advantage
of a broad range of activities in your undergraduate program with the focusing
occurring in subsequent graduate work. My own preference, of course, would be for a
doctorate program in one of the sciences because you then would be preparing
yourself either for a career with one of the multinational companies, an area in this
society that will be growing rapidly in the years, or in international affairs at the
government level, where again, science and technology are, without question, going to
play an ever increasingly important role.
You ask then about what schools would be best suited to the kinds of program that
you have in mind. Fundamentally, your choices between a college of the Haverford,
Swarthmore, Reed variety where you can expect more individualized faculty attention
unfortunately, do not have the facilities and experience of the faculty that you would
encounter at a major research university. I would suggest a research university
because of the greater spectrum of course offerings and the, in general, greater
experience and visibility of the faculty unless you feel that you want the more
individualized interaction with the faculty that characterizes someplace like Smith if
you want an all female environment, or Swarthmore or Haverford or Reed, or one of
those similar colleges if you are interested in a co-ed environment. With your
background, I would think that it would be entirely reasonable for you to shoot for
some place like Princeton, Harvard, Stanford, or Yale, and I would urge one of those
on you because of the very real quality that you would expect to find in the faculty
and among the researchers with whom you would interact. I would not suggest MIT
or CalTech because their focus, I sense, is narrower than what you have in mind.
I would emphasize that in any of the universities that I have suggested it is possible
for someone with your record to build essentially a program that is specifically suited
to your own wishes and abilities, and there is tremendous flexibility in terms of
keeping options open and yet really obtaining a deep understanding of one or more
areas of focus. Each of the ones that I have suggested have special attractions in
terms of structure, location, student body character, and what-have-you, but you make
no mistake in selecting any one of them.
It is worth remembering that Yale is in many ways unique in the entire Nation, with
only Rice University in Houston, Texas, coming even close, in that through the
structure at Yale you have at one in the same time the social ambiance of the smaller
college and yet the resources of a major research university. To the extent that it
works, and I believe that it does, Yale is unique in offering you the best of both
worlds.
Let me also emphasize that you should not be turned off by the somewhat
astronomical tuition and other expenses associated with the universities that I have
just mentioned because it is, in fact, the case that all of those universities admit
students without reference to their family's ability to pay the stated costs and the
universities come up with whatever might be required to augment your family
resources and make it possible for you to attend once they have accepted you as a
member of the freshman class. I would therefore urge you to try for admission at
whatever university or college really appeals to you and, in that sense, it is very
important for you to visit at least the ones on the east coast that are in convenient
range, to get some sense of the campus atmosphere, the student body, and the general
feeling of the place.
If you have some specific questions as you get more closely into the college admission
process, then give me a call 202/456-7116 and I would be happy to discuss them with
you.
With all best wishes, both to you and to your parents,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Allan,
I was disappointed not to see you at our Physics Computing '91 conference in
San Jose. The meeting went very well and Gene Wong did an excellent job as
keynote speaker.
The principle reason for writing is to solicit your help and advice. I have
decided that eight years of running the Computation organization at
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is plenty, especially after the last
three years. While I have several options here, I would like to get away from
LLNL for a while, if possible.
I am very interested in the High Performance Computing and
Communications Initiative. Not surprisingly, I have extensive connections to
the high performance computing and networking world; i.e., government,
academic and US and foreign industry. Potentially a Washington assignment
would be a good use for my knowledge of the field and my contacts.
Depending on how you are organizing OSTP in the HPCC area, is there a
possible assignment for me? One of the participating agencies would also be a
possibility. Any advice you have would be most welcome.
Best regards.

Bob

Dear Dr. Burger:
Many thanks for sending me the copy of Daedalus devoted to risk analysis and
management. As a long-time Fellow of the American Academy, I had already read a
substantial part of the volume and agree with you completely that it is a very useful
and perceptive treatment of the whole risk question.
I have been pleased thus far with the activities of the Committee chaired by
Dr. Henry Habicht, the Deputy Administrator of EPA, that I have set up under the
Federal Coordinating Council to try to develop consensus among the Federal agencies
on the basic principles and approaches that will be used in the Federal Government
in matters of risk assessment and management. I think the time is long overdue
when it needs to be recognized that this field has developed into a science in its own
right.
Obviously, your Institute is one that will be maintaining a keen interest in this whole
matter and we will always welcome input from you.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Dr. Bromley:
I happened to have been in the audience last week during your
remarks to the meeting on Risk, sponsored by the International
Life Sciences Institute. It occurred to me that, if you hadn't
seen it, you might enjoy the enclosed volume of Daedalus which we
initiated and developed with the American Academy of Arts and
Sciences. The aim of the effort was to take a somewhat broader
view of how the Nation views risk and risk-taking, the cultural
and economic factors which have brought us to the present
posture, and the capacity of our public and private institutions
to accommodate our views and behavior.

Dear Gary:
I am somewhat torn by your news that you are heading off to become Dean of the
School of Natural Resources at the University of Michigan. On the positive side,
I know that you will do a superb job, as always, and the University of Michigan is a
very distinguished one that I know quite well. On the negative side, you will be
greatly missed at Yale.
I reluctantly must agree with you that the general atmosphere in New Haven is
deteriorating and deteriorating rapidly. I notice this perhaps most because I only
come to the city now at several month intervals and during those intervals the decay
is very evident. I also have the additional indicator of an attractive home that I have
been trying to sell now for over two years and despite the fact that there have been
many interested potential buyers, none of them have been able to obtain mortgage
support and since I am not in a philanthropic mood, I have the dubious pleasure of
supporting a home in New Haven as well as one in Bethesda. This does beat the hell
out of my exchequer, as I am sure you can recognize.
I recognize also what a traumatic summer this must have been for you because
making a move of the sort upon which you have decided is one of the most difficult
things that we academics can possibly undergo. I hope that the Michigan people are
doing everything possible to make it as painless as they can.
As a 30 year veteran of Yale and New Haven, I very much appreciate your feelings
but let me only wish you every success and happiness in the new position at
Michigan. As I said above, I know that you will do a superb job and I will always
feel free to call on you for help and advice.
With warmest best wishes and warmest congratulations,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Allan,
I am moving on to become the Dean of the School of Natural Resources at the
University of Michigan. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse. After one more
vote from their Board of Regents in a couple of weeks, to approve the final terms the
provost and I negotiated, it will be completely and officially done.
I had not realized how uncivilized New Haven had become until I started trying
to visualize us living in Ann Arbor. The contrast is stunning. I don't know if I told you,
but Chris Prince, the Yale sophomore who was gunned down on Hillhouse in late
February, was in my college (Pierson) and was also the younger brother of Jackie
Prince, a dear friend and former student who did both her management and environ-
mental studies masters degrees with me. The memorial service was impossibly diffi-
cult, and I decided right then it was time to get out of New Haven.
About a week after Chris' memorial, the Michigan folks called wanting to know
if I would be interested in the job. I spent three days there in mid-April, returned in
late May, and then again on June 13 to interview with the regents. They voted on the
four finalists, and I got the offer two weeks ago. It took about ten minutes to calm
down enough to call them back to begin discussing terms. Everything was settled yes-
terday, and I'm as energized as can be.
They want me to start September 1, and part of the negotiation was to give us
time to settle in. I won't be the real dean until January 1. There is a solid acting dean
in place who is willing to mind the store and break me in over the fall term. Matthew
will be entering middle school, grades 6-7-8, and a September start for him is impera-
tive. So we're off to Ann Arbor in about a week to start looking for a place to live.
I have a 20-year investment in Yale, counting four years as a graduate student
and 16 as faculty. Leaving evokes lots of different feelings, not the least of which is
sadness for the separation from many good colleagues. It is, however, time to move
on.

Dear Dr. Bromley:
Many thanks for your contribution to the 1991 Convocation of Professional Engineering Societies held at the
National Academy of Engineering on Tuesday, June 25. Your candid remarks and evident clear vision were not
only refreshing but encouraging. Never before have I felt that the President had an advisor who understood the
critical scientific and technical issues challenging the future of the United States.
I am writing to you to offer the cooperation and assistance of the Institute of Industrial Engineers in your difficult
role as Presidential advisor. As you are aware, industrial engineers are key players in organizational change to
make companies more responsive to technological change and consumer demand, in short, reducing the time
to go from theory to practice, giving the company the edge over their competitor.
The contributions made by IE's in TQM, concurrent engineering, system simulation, and design for
manufacturing and assembly are documented and well known. In particular, IE's are best noted for their keen
and unique skill to best utilize and motivate employees at all levels within an organization. It is in these critical
areas where we would like to offer our help. More than half of the critical technologies addressed by the National
Sector Organization to help.

Dear Deeda:
Many thanks for your letter of July 13th which arrived while I was in Puerto Rico
organizing a Western Hemisphere Environmental Research Institute.
I was delighted to hear your good comments about my colleague D.A. Henderson, but
I too was very much disappointed that I was unable to join you for the dinner in
Bernadine's honor, both because I know that I would have enjoyed your warm
hospitality, and because I have a very special affection and respect for Bernadine.
As you know, unfortunately I was committed to the keynote address in the
inauguration of Donald Langenberg as Chancellor of the University of Maryland
System.
From all reports which I have heard, it was a spectacular dinner and Bernadine was
both honored and delighted.
I have been talking with Florence Mahoney and your prediction was precisely
accurate. What I originally did was to invite her with the hope of having her join
you, Bernadine, and me at the White House for lunch, but given her somewhat frail
condition, she instead insisted that it would be difficult for her to negotiate the stairs
into the Mess and that she would prefer instead to organize a dinner at her home.
This she is doing and I am told that she will be in touch with me in the near future.
She seems still remarkably interested and involved and is truly a great lady.
Unfortunately, it looks as though our schedules are exactly out of phase for August
because I will be here through the month leaving on the 16th to spend the remaining
two weeks with my family at our home in Northern Canada. I very much hope that
your meetings in Venice and in Paris will be very pleasant ones indeed. We will just
miss the possibility of crossing in Paris by a week since I expect to be there for a few
days during the first week in August just after you have left.
You mention a brief dinner with Bernadine and Congressman Dingle during the latter
two weeks of August; unfortunately I will be away at that time but would be
absolutely delighted to join you at some later time if that should turn out to be
possible.
In the meantime, let me wish you the happiest and most productive of remaining
summer weeks.
Sincerely yours,
Ann

Dear Allan,
Ever so many thank yous for your wonderful letter.
I was so delighted to receive the report "Maximizing
Human Potential". It was as if we had been on the
same wave length. I had heard about the report and
yesterday I had tried at the Neurology Institute and
had thus far failed to track it down. Then it came
in the mail today from you! I think it is a superb
document. Everything about it is excellent. Most
important, the quality of the writing is clear and
the selection of photographs could not be improved
upon.
I knew Sylvia Conte quite well as he was a great
friend of Mary Lasker's and he has been to a number
of dinners here. He was always so helpful. So it
is really great when such an excellent document is
dedicated to him.
Page 2
I was sorry that you couldn't come to the dinner
for Bernadine. I think it went quite well, although
it grew a little larger then I had originally planned.
We finally sat down fifty-eight people! So it was
not exactly intimate, but it was a good mixture of
people and I was thrilled to have the chance to meet
your Dr. Henderson (DA), who is outstanding. I had
been present at a Dana Foundation award ceremony when
he had been given their award for the eradication
of small pox. I have often brooded about it since
we had given the Lasker Award several years before
for the eradication of small pox, but we gave it to
Dr. Mahler who was then General Director of WHO.
I think we would have been so much wiser if we had
given it to Dr. Henderson who really had everything
to do with it.
We were as I said a great mixture_ with quite
a few people from the pharmaceutical industry, and
as could be expected, quite a number of scientists,
science writers and congressman. There were a few
people who really impressed me enormously like Dr.
Kessler, the head of the FDA. I sat next to him,
and I must say one has the distinct impression of
a man with a mission. I had a very definite impression
that he is one of those very gifted strategic thinkers.
Another real star is Olympia Snow, who is on the aging
committee and I think she could be a great help to
Bernadine as she is full of admiration. However,
anyone who has encountered Bernadine in the last months
who has not known her before, is absolutely dazzled
and there is such enthusiasm on the campus.
Page 3
In regard to Florence Mahoney, we are going to
have dinner with her tonight, but this is the first
time Bill and I have seen her, though she has been
home nearly a month. We have asked her a number of
times but I sense perhaps she is a little more fragile
than last summer. She must use a walker or wheelchair
- SO she is not going out as much as in the past.
I mentioned to her that we had lunch, and that you
wanted to get together with Bernadine and she was
delighted at the idea. I am sure that she would like
to be invited to the executive dining room. I think
that somehow a wheelchair over those five steps could
be managed. Otherwise when you invite her, she will
just turn it around and say, oh come to her house.
She did say that she wanted to talk to you seriously.
I have the impression she is working just as hard
as ever and I must say she does it with such charm.
One of her current projects however, which has been
on her mind for the past two years and now she seems
more determined then ever is to introduce legislation
that people would have to have a license to have a
baby!!!
I leave for Europe this Wednesday for an
osteoporosis meeting in Venice and then I will be
in Paris for a few days as I have a planning session
for a cancer and AIDS meeting that will take place
in March 1992. Although I return to the United States
on the 30th, I really won't be back in Washington
much before the 14th of August as I have got to be
at Harvard and in New York the first two weeks of
August.
Page 4
Then I will be in Washington the last two weeks
of August and then I am off on vacation for the first
three weeks of September.
If you are around those last two weeks of August,
let's try to get together. Perhaps you could come
here for a tiny dinner with Bernadine and I might
try to get Congressman Dingle who told me he would
very much like to get to know Dr. Healy.
With all best wishes,

Dear Dr. Boer:
Thank you for your letter of June 28 in which you expressed willingness to testify on
behalf of the IRI Fellow program.
Like you, I deeply regret the at least temporary cessation of the program; the
program has been enormously useful over the years in bringing private sector input
into OSTP and the White House. The problem of potential conflicts of interest is a
difficult one, but we still have hope for resolution. However, I don't feel that the
OSTP oversight hearing is the appropriate forum to seek resolution.
In the meantime, as you are probably aware, a competitive Sloan Fellowship program
for OSTP has been established through the Sloan Foundation, and two industrial
fellows will be joining OSTP in September. One of these fellows is your IRI colleague
Ward Haas. We will also have, again from industry, a Presidential Fellow in
residence at OSTP in FY 1992. We expect, of course, to maintain our relationship
with IRI and to call on the membership for input on a variety of issues.

Dear Gary:
This is a much belated response to your letter of June 5th which arrived
while I was in the Soviet Union on an extended tour.
Unfortunately, I can be of little help concerning Michael Levine's
nomination to the Cosmos Club because I have resigned from that Club
after more than 20 years of membership.
The reason was purely and simply economic. In the two years that I
have been here in Washington I have had no occasion whatsoever to use
the Cosmos Club and, at the same time, because I am now a resident
the Club expected me to pay the $1,000 annual membership fee. Given
the financial beating that I am taking by being here in the first place,
the honor was simply too great and so I have reluctantly resigned and
am assured by the Cosmos Club folk that whenever I return to the
academic world I can be reinstated.
Since I am no longer a member my opinions are no longer of any
interest to the Admissions' Committee.
Although I agree that Michael Levine has lacked the normal amount of
finesse at Yale, I knew him slightly during his prior business career and
must say that in that guise I was impressed by what he was able to do
for his companies. Somehow the match at Yale was bad from the
beginning and the whole matter was handled with less than diplomatic
elegance.
Sometime when your travels bring you to Washington give me a little
warning and I would be happy to invite you to lunch at the White
House Mess. It would be good to have an opportunity to catch up on
details at Yale.
With warmest best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Concerned Citizen:
We have selected you to receive the first issue of The Future of Children, a
multidisciplinary journal developed for policymakers and public and private
decision makers concerned with efforts to improve the health and welfare of
children.
The Future of Children is developed by the staff of the Center for the Future of
Children, a grantmaking, policy development, and research group established
two years ago as part of The David and Lucile Packard Foundation. Our purpose
in publishing this journal is to provide multiple perspectives on critical issues in
a format that bridges the technical analysis of academic journals and the general
coverage found in the popular press. Our contributors represent a wide range of
expertise in fields including epidemiology, medicine, child welfare and child
development, education, health economics, and law and public policy.
Each issue of the journal will focus on a particular topic, providing up-to-date
information and analysis on major issues relating to children's health and well-
being. This first issue focuses on the problem of drug-exposed infants. Our
second issue, due to be published in January 1992, will focus on school-linked
health and social services for children.
We invite your comments and criticism; if you have a moment, please fill out
and return the reply card enclosed in the journal. Our hope is that you will find
this publication useful and informative.
Sincerely,

ADDENDUM
to: "Overview of State Legislative and Judicial Responses" by Carol Larson, pp. 72-
84, and "Perspective of a Reproductive Rights Attorney" by Lynn Paltrow, pp. 85-92
The Larson and Paltrow articles herein discuss court decisions in which pregnant women
who ingested cocaine during pregnancy were prosecuted for delivering drugs to their children. In
April 1991, two state appellate courts ruled on this issue. Both cases involved charges that the
"delivery" of drugs to the child occurred through the umbilical cord in the short time after the baby
had been delivered from the birth canal and before the umbilical cord was cut.
In Michigan U. Hardy, No. 128458 (Mich. Ct. App. April 1, 1991), the three-judge panel held
unanimously that the Michigan legislature did not intend its statute prohibiting delivery of cocaine
to children to apply in these circumstances. In Johnson U. Florida, No. 89-1765 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App.
April 18, 1991), the three-judge panel was divided, with the majority finding that the Florida
statute regarding delivery of controlled substances to a child had been violated. The majority wrote
that they could "reach no other conclusion logically"; the appellant "took cocaine into her pregnant
body and caused the passage of that cocaine to each of her children through the umbilical cord after
birth of the child, then an infant person." The third judge filed a lengthy dissent, reviewing the
legislative history of the statute and concluding that "the Legislature expressly chose to treat the
problem of drug-dependent mothers and newborns as a public health problem and that it considered
but rejected imposing criminal sanctions... The panel certified the question to the Supreme Court
of Florida; an appeal will be filed.
Earlier in 1991, an Ohio appellate court ruled that Ohio's child endangerment statute was
not intended to apply to the "passage of harmful substances from a mother to a child in the brief
moments from birth to the severance of the umbilical cord." Ohio v. Gray, No. L-89-239 (Ohio Ct.
App. January 23, 1991). In April, a North Carolina trial court also dismissed indictments for
assault and delivery of cocaine, finding that the statutes did not apply to alleged harm to a fetus.
North Carolina U. Inzar, No. 90CRS6960 and 90CRS6961 (Robeson County Sup. Ct. April 9, 1991).
Constitutional questions were not discussed in these opinions, although the court in
Johnson wrote that it had considered arguments about "the mother's rights to her body, and the
analogies to the abortion cases." As the Larson and Paltrow articles discuss, at least two trial courts
(in Michigan and Massachusetts) have considered the constitutional challenges to such prosecutions
and ruled that they violated women's constitutional rights to due process and privacy.

Dear Heinz:
This is a very belated reply to your letter of May 14th concerning your nomination of
Fay Selove for the National Academy of Sciences award for Scientific Reviewing. I
am very enthusiastic about this possibility and have already sent the supporting letter
to Dr. E. J. Sherman as you request.
I am sorry that it has taken so long to get back to you because I have been doing
some extensive travelling in the Soviet Union and elsewhere.
I look forward to working with you in the Academy; I do indeed understand some of
the problems of the election process better than I did in the past and the next time
you come to Washington I would appreciate it if you let me know because I would be
delighted to invite you to lunch at the White House Mess where we could discuss a
number of topics of mutual interest.
My warmest best wishes to both you and Eleanor,
Sincerely yours,
from

Dear Allan:
As I mentioned to you in Washington, I am nominating Fay
Selove for the National Acadeny of Sciences 1992 Award for
Scientific Reviewing. This prize is awarded annually for excel-
lence in scientific reviewing. It will be presented in the
physical sciences in 1992. The previous winners in the physical
sciences were: Conyers Herring, Michael Fisher, Virginia Trimble,
and Sidney Coleman.
Supporting letters should be sent by August to:
Dr. E. J. Sherman
National Academy of Sciences
NAS 146
2101 Constitution Avenue, NW
Washington DC 20418
I enclose a copy of Fay's C.V. and a list of her review
articles. I propose to emphasize the importance of the reviews
for other areas of science, such as astrophysics.
I am writing in the hope that you are willing to support
this nomination. I would appreciate knowing whether you are
writing a letter, and getting suggestions of other potential
supporters.
It was a pleasure to see you and your daughter in Washington
and to have you finally an active member of the Academy. You will
now understand better the problems of the election process.
Sincerely,
H. Heiny H. Barschall

Dear Allan:
As Polytechnic's 136th Annual Commencement is fast
approaching, a flurry of activity surrounding the occasion has
begun. I am writing to ask if you would please deliver our
commencement address when you receive the honorary Doctor of
Engineering degree on June 3.
Your remarks should be about 15-20 minutes in length; the
audience consists of approximately 800 graduates and their
families, the faculty, the Polytechnic Board of Trustees, the
other honorary degree recipients and other friends of the
University.
Polytechnic will confer two additional honorary degrees at
the ceremony. Professor Ota Wichterle, President of the
Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences, will receive the Doctor of
Science degree; and Dr. Samuel Goldberg '21, '35, who received
the first Ph.D. degree Polytechnic ever conferred--in chemistry--
will be awarded Doctor of Engineering.
All of us at Polytechnic are looking forward to having you
with us at this special time to celebrate this honor. We will
make this a double celebration to make up for last year.
With kind regards,
Sincerely yours,
George
