THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
December 30, 1991
Dear Dorothy and Don:
Many thanks for your warm note of sympathy concerning Pat's death.
As I am sure you can imagine, things will never be the same.
It was particularly unfortunate that Pat never had a chance to really
participate in any of the Washington Swirl of activity. Particularly when
we had had such ambitious plans both for Washington and for after it.
As you can see, I am still busy engaged here in Washington and am still
trying to sell my house in New Haven, although I remain on leave from
my endowed chair at Yale. It turns out that the Connecticut economy
collapsed almost precisely at the same time that I moved to Washington
and owning two homes in today's environment is not a particularly
attractive operation. I did not rent the house in New Haven because,
just before we decided that we were moving to Washington, we had had
it worked over from basement to attic and the realtors kept assuring us
that it would in fact sell in the near future and that renters would
wreck what was a home in essentially perfect condition.
Somehow I find it difficult to think of either of you in retirement but I
suspect that you are both, in fact, flunking retirement and from
everything I have learned, keeping remarkably busy.
I expect to be in Kingston very briefly about the 28th of February to
participate in a major celebration at Queen's and look forward to the
possibility of our paths crossing at that time. Unfortunately, because of
commitments just before and just after the scheduled event in Kingston,
it will have to be a very short time at Queen's, but I do hope that we
get a chance to compare notes, albeit briefly.
Let me take the occasion to wish both of you a very happy, healthy and
rewarding 1992 and I hope that your Christmas has been a very merry
one.
With warmest best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Dns.

Dear al:
Iappreciated receiving your thoughoful note, but we
were shocked to learn of Pats death That news had
not rea ched us.
Itmust have been very difficult for you to bear,
and that life for you without Pat continues to be
bleak is understandable She always seemed to be
such a cheerful person who must have brought great
joy to your life.
aethough having dripsed apart, as frequently
happens to university classmates, we always felta
special affection for you and Pat, and in our way we
well miss her Gery much. you and your family have
our sincere sympathy.
Dorothy and continue to keep revelves busy in
retirement doing barious bolunker jobs in The
community. I am still very much involved will
health care, but the by-laws will Soon be bringing
my present roles to an end. I infer that you are
still acting in an adviory role to the President,
which must give you Gusiderable Satisfaction.

Dear Rich:
Many thanks for your note of October 22 in which you transmit to me the resolution
of the AAAS concerning proposed Federal ethics rules on participation by Federal
employees in professional societies.
As you, I am sure, would suspect we reacted very strongly to this activity on the part
of the OGE, and after meetings with its director and the President's Council, we have
succeeded in having the offending sections removed from the rules as published. We
are working on the additional sections having to do with the preparation of books
and articles by Federal employees and I am optimistic that we will be able to have
those taken care of as well.
It is quite clear, however, that input such as that from the AAAS has been
enormously helpful in convincing the OGE that they had gone much too far with this
latest set of suggested rules. And it is very important that we maintain a certain
level of vigilance against such activity on the part of OGE in the future.
Unfortunately, the material that we found so objectionable was aimed at the legal
societies and OGE had not taken time to recognize that the mores of scientific
societies are not necessarily the same as those for those in the legal profession.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Dues

Washington, DC 20506
Dear Dr. Bromley:
I understand from a recent telephone conversation with Steve Olson of your staff that he will not be
able to provide an essay from you for our new book, Where Next, Columbus? I hope that you will
reconsider, even though both of you are heavily committed to other projects.
As science advisor to the President who has mandated a vigorous program of exploration, you can best
articulate a point of view that should be included in the book--an assessment of the importance or
value of exploration as a national policy. Not since President Kennedy has an American leader so
strongly endorsed exploration as a high-priority national goal. From your special vantage point as
a key advisor you can offer fresh insight into the role of exploration as a national policy, perhaps
reflecting on the scientific motive or the differences between cost and value of exploration. Why is
exploration in the national interest? What advice do you give the President and the public about
exploration? What light can you shed on the renewed commitment to exploration at the highest level
of national leadership? I am seeking a brief essay--an opinion piece or personal reflections--not a
scholarly article or a Space Exploration Initiative briefing.
Your contribution to our collection of essays would be distinctive and significant. Will you reconsider
our prospectus and whether it is possible for you to fit this request into your schedule? I would
extend to you the courtesy of a more relaxed deadline, with submission due before the Thanksgiving
holiday. The Director of the Museum and I will be delighted if you join the group of distinguished
authors whose essays we will publish in 1992.
Cordially,

This project was an outgrowth of the feeling of
many, including some at NSF, that the biomedical
engineering community was not working together. The
purpose of this new organization thus is to unify the
community and to provide a vehicle where the different
societies can work together on issues of mutual
interest. To date it has received wide support, and I
believe this inaugural meeting will be an auspices
occasion. Since the spirit is to unify, all
organizations are being included.
We do expect an attendance of at least 300, and
the sessions will be held in the main auditorium of
the National Academy of Sciences Building. In
addition to the two days of sessions, there will be a
dinner on the evening of February 24 where the
founding members of the AIMBE College of Fellows will
be inducted.
For your information, the organization of this
meeting and the extension of an invitation to you has
been discussed with Dr. D. A. Henderson, and a copy of
this letter is being sent to him. Although he warned
us that your schedule is an exceedingly complex one
and that the demands on your time are very great, he
did encourage us to write you.
I do look forward to hearing from you and
hopefully to a favorable reply. We believe that this
meeting, with the key people in the country in
bioengineering and biotechnology-related applications
being in attendance, will be an appropriate forum for
you to articulate your views in this area.
Yours truly,

Dear Dr Neal:
Thank you for your letter of July 9 regarding support of the basic sciences in the
Department of Defense.
My concerns for maintenance of the defense technology base in the face of declining
DoD budgets are well known. Don Atwood of DoD shares this concern, and we are in
frequent contact on the matter. Some erosion, I fear, is inevitable, but rest assured
that I and others similarly concerned will work towards maintenance of an
appropriate base.

Dear Allan,
I and other faculty in my department are concerned that forces
within the Department of Defense, moving to consolidate operations
and reduce expenditures, will redirect 6.1 funds to meet needs
outside of research, without full knowledge of the consequences.
Recent examples of such efforts include the decision to eliminate
the Physics Directorate at the Air Force Office of Scientific
Research and the consideration given to the assimilation of the
Army Research Office into the Army Laboratory System. Such changes
would damage the long standing DoD-University relationship, which
has served many aspects of the nation's needs.
As you are aware, there are many indicators suggesting a real
decline in the availability of support for individual-investigator
basic research; such research forms a major component of the
nation's science and technology base. We hope that the
Administration will take some action in this matter, to protect
these programs against further erosion.
Sincerely yours,
Homen

Dear Dr. Bromley:
Thank you for your willingness to address the Science &
Technology Dinner which Tufts University had planned for May 4
at the Plaza in New York. We considered your presence and
remarks to be the centerpieces of the entire event.
Thus, we were thoroughly disappointed when a number of
events conspired which forced Tufts to postpone the occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, President Mayer, and I anticipate the
dinner to be rescheduled to a date six to eight months hence.
They join me in expressing regret for any inconvenience
which our cancellation might have caused. In addition, we all
ask your indulgence in hopes that once our plans for the
rescheduled event are firm, we can review them with you and
again invite your participation.
I extend best wishes to you and continued success in your
contributions to the country.

Letters To The Editor

Dear Sirs:
Constance Holden's comment in Briefings (Science, 25 October, p. 523) on
the 1991 awards of the Packard Fellowships gives the wrong impression on two
counts. It implies that the twenty Packard Fellowships awarded recently are the
latest entry in faddish support for young investigators. Presumably the recipients of
60 fellowships awarded in previous years would disagree with the characterization,
"latest". It also expresses surprise that in this age of affirmative action, only two
of the 20 are women." In fact, 20 of the 80 current fellows are women. To imply,
however, that any of the women who hold fellowships were selected due to
affirmative action does a disservice to them and to the quality of their science.

THE WHITE HOUSE
WASHINGTON
December 2, 1991
Dear Barney:
It is good to know that at least the SETI activities are progressing but I could not
agree with you more that we seem to have a steady stream of difficulties emerging
from various parts of the House and Senate.
This is particularly true with respect to the CAFE Bills which go happily on their way
without any significant concern for either scientific or economic feasibility. There are
some who appear to think that legislating a particular MPG will necessarily make it
possible and others who feel that no price is too great to achieve a figure bigger than
any that has ever been suggested anywhere else on the planet.
Thus far, we are doing our best to fight off these Luddite moves that could indeed
wreck our domestic automobile industry.
Letters such as yours addressed to appropriate people in the Congress, are among the
most effective weapons that we in the scientific community have at our disposal. I
am learning more and more that a single, thoughtful, letter from a credible scientist
carries enormous weight in the Congress where such letters are all too few. So I urge
you to attack ignorance, bias, and sheer foolhardiness whenever you find them rearing
their heads.
We continue to fight what we hope is a good fight and we deeply appreciate the
support of people like yourself.
With warmest best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
Duan

Dear Allan:
Senator Bryan (D-NV) is getting to be a problem. No sooner do we
manage to divert his attack on SETI than he comes up with S279, a
bill aimed to legislate fuel economy into automobiles. As you
probably know, this bill would require each manufacturer to
increase the fuel economy of its line 20% by 1996 and 40% by 2001
over that achieved in 1988.
Another proposal by Senator Johnson (D-LA) involves lower per-
centage increases over a 1990 base, while a bill by Representative
Boxer (HR446) calls for 60% economy increases.
The patently unfair aspect of all these bills requiring uniform
percentage increases rather than a uniform absolute goal, is that
they penalize those manufacturers that have already done the best
job by requiring future performance difficult if not impossible to
achieve, while allowing the poor performers to remain so. Further,
the authors of the bills seem to believe that arbitrarily low fuel
consumption is possible, and that man made laws can override
natural law. Why not simply legislate a higher energy per gallon
of fuel?
I am writing to alert you to these bills and to the menace of the
philosophy that produces them. I am sick of government by techno-
logical ignoramuses. Is there nothing we can do?
Sincerely,
Barney Olwer

Dear Dr. Bromley:
Please receive this invitation to join with the members of the
Association of American Cancer Institutes at their annual meeting in Baltimore
on June 20. We would be particularly pleased to have you as our after dinner
speaker on Thursday evening.
We expect over 100 individuals at our meeting including the directors
and other representatives from all of the major cancer centers in this
country. They would be most interested in hearing you speak about the support
for science in this country and any views you may care to express about the
NIH as a science program.
Our dinner will be held at an historic mansion, the Evergreen House,
4545 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, 21210, beginning at 6:30 p.m. If your
remarks were about 30-35 minutes in length, I believe it would be possible for
you to leave at 9:00 p.m. or before.
John Grupenhoff will facilitate all travel arrangements, etc., for us.
He can also tell you a great deal about the AACI.

This is simply to put on record the pride shared by all of your associates here in the

Outstanding Public Service Award from the Director of the Federal Emergency
Management Agency. FEMA is only one of the many agencies here in the Federal
Government that is much indebted to you for your insight, dedication, and hard work.
Although, for obvious reasons, you cannot receive due public credit for much of what
you do, both personally and on behalf of President Bush, I should like to make clear
that the nation is indeed indebted to you.
Congratulations on a much merited award.

AWARD TO JOHN O'NEIL
Today, Colonel John O'Neil was awarded the Outstanding Public
Service Award by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA). The citation reads:
"Colonel O'Neil contributed his time and talent to
support FEMA's role in National Security Emergency
Preparedness by coordinating, planning and ensuring
America's readiness to respond to national security
emergencies. His commitment to the development and
training of the National and Regional Emergency
Management Teams is commendable."
This is a distinction he richly deserves, and we can all be proud
of the honor he has brought on our office.

and their firms need to be more aware of the issues related to technology and
its role in competitiveness. You can be a key catalyst in the process. For

Dear Sherry:
I am, of course, delighted to learn that the Board of Trustees of your University has
voted to confer the Doctor of Laws honoris causa on Saturday, May 30, at the Boston
campus commencement. In your letter you mention that the exercises are on
Saturday afternoon, but also that the degree aware will be at 11:00 a.m. and, at your
convenience, I would appreciate learning which is, in fact, the case.
I am doubly honored by the fact that the recommendation for this award came from
you and you have my warmest thanks for this recognition.
I remember with pleasure our interactions at Yale and I have been much impressed
by all that you have accomplished in strengthening the activities of the University of
Massachusetts at Boston.
Although my schedule, as you will appreciate, is always subject to last minute revision
at the request of the President, I would certainly look forward to the possibility of
joining you for the traditional commencement dinner to be held May 29 in Boston.
Although my office notified you on October 30 that I would be delighted to accept
this honor, I regret that travel outside the U.S. has resulted in an appalling delay in
your receiving my personal response and thanks.
I shall be honored to join the University of Massachusetts at Boston family and look
forward to seeing you on May 29 if not before.
With warmest best wishes for a happy, successful and rewarding 1992,
Sincerely yours,

DearAllen:
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Board of Trustees of the
University of Massachusetts voted at its October 1st meeting to confer upon you the
degree of Doctor of Laws at the Boston Campus Commencement exercises on
Saturday afternoon, May 30, 1992 at 11:00 A.M.
As Chancellor of the University of Massachusetts at Boston, it was my
privilege to recommend you for this honorary degree after your nomination by
members of the university community in recognition of your accomplishments in
the field of nuclear physics, and particularly for your strong advocacy of the
strengthening of science education in the United States.
Since working with you at Yale, I have been struck by your very firm
commitment to engaging this country's resources to support an increased emphasis
on science education and scientific literacy. Your efforts to improve the standing of
the sciences in the United States resonates most strongly on our own campus. Last
year, the University underwent an administrative reorganization and created a dean
of the science faculty. The purpose of this change was to help focus our curriculum
on emphasizing both the physical and biological sciences.
The move, which was welcomed by the scientists on campus, is our attempt
to graduate students who understand the scientific and technological forces that are
at work in modern society. We also implemented the reorganization to improve
our capacity to pursue research in specific areas of concern to the Boston
community, such as the environment. By recognizing you as a national leader in
the movement to enhance the standing of the sciences in American life, we would
be reaffirming at the same time our own efforts to promote scientific understanding
at the University.

Since it is the policy of the Board of Trustees not to award honorary degrees in
absentia, the trustees, faculty, and students hope that you can be present at the
Boston campus on Commencement Day. Should your schedule permit, I would
also like to invite you to join me for our traditional commencement dinner which
will be held on the preceding Friday evening.
I do hope that you can fit our commencement celebration into your busy
schedule. Please let me know at your earliest convenience if you will be able to
accept this invitation to receive an honorary degree from the University of
Massachusetts at Boston. I look forward to your sharing this most significant day
with our students, faculty and other members of the community.

Dear Red:
It was very thoughtful of you to invite me to the preview of the 1992 Ford and
Lincoln-Mercury products at the Sheraton Washington Hotel but, unfortunately, I was
out of the country at the time and have spent much of the subsequent time travelling.
I was very much impressed when I had the pleasure of joining you and your senior
associates at the ground-breaking for your new laboratory in Dearborn, and now that
I have seen the new 1992 Ford products, I want to congratulate you on an
outstanding job.
Although I am on leave from my endowed chair at Yale at the present time, the fact
that that chair is the Henry Ford II one in physics gives me a special connection with
your company. So also does the fact that Dr. John McTague serves with great
distinction as a member of the President's Council on Science and Technology as well
as a close personal friend and adviser on many other topics. I can assure you that
he is greatly respected here in Washington and is an outstandingly good ambassador
for the Ford Motor Company.
Again, a belated thanks for your invitation and congratulations on your continuing
excellent leadership of one of the nation's great companies.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Bromley:
On behalf of the directors, officers, and senior management of Ford Motor
Company, I would like to extend this personal invitation to you and your
spouse/guest for a private preview of our 1992 Ford and Lincoln-Mercury
products. The reception will be held at the Sheraton Washington Hotel, 2660
Woodley Road, Washington, D.C. To accommodate your busy schedule, we've
arranged for a morning and evening reception. Please choose the more
convenient: 5:00 to 7:30 p.m. on September 19th or 8:00 to 10:30 a.m. on
September 20th.
This private preview and reception will be attended by a number of our senior
executives and members of Ford and Lincoln-Mercury Divisions, Parts and Service
Division, and Ford Credit management teams, along with some of our partners in
quality from the United Auto Workers.
Our new Ford and Lincoln-Mercury vehicles represent the finest quality and most
technologically advanced vehicles that Ford has ever brought to market. You
will have the opportunity to inspect all the vehicles at your leisure and see
the major new design changes, both inside and out, that reinforce Ford Motor
Company's design philosophy of "form follows function."
We look forward to meeting with you and sharing Ford Motor Company's success
story for 1992 and beyond.
The preview and reception is by invitation only. Please call our special
preview toll-free number 1-800-331-0199, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., Eastern Time,
so that we can make arrangements for your attendance.

Dear Vice President Pandolfi:
Thank you for your letter of October 29 and invitation to the second meeting of the EC-
US Joint Consultative Group on Science and Technology. I am pleased to inform you
that I and my colleagues on the U.S. Delegation look forward to participating.
I have reviewed the draft agenda and have only one significant modification. I suggest
that we add an item entitled Science and Technology Policy Development and Trends,
immediately following the opening statements. You will recall that we had lively and
active discussions on this subject when we met in February. I believe this item provides
an opportunity to discuss broad policy issues. We may need to alter the time allocated
to each item on the agenda to accommodate this change, but I will ask my staff to work
with yours on this matter.
I am pleased with your suggestion to include two new agenda items: Public
Understanding of Science and Technology, and Comparative Approaches to Research
and Technological Development in less favored regions. On the later item I suggest we
focus our discussions on broad issues as opposed to specific programmatic approaches
for dealing with the problem.
I look forward to seeing you in Brussels in a few weeks.

occasions to discuss with them the reorganization that they have underway. I

we too share your concerns about the importance of maintaining a strong scientific
base for their activities.

Dear Allan:
It was great to see you at the dinner for Hans Alders last night.
The reaction to Alders' "invitation to join the club" was
interesting. Leadership is the key and I am one, of the many,
who hopes the President will act on this opportunity to
demonstrate his real commitment to the environment and future
generations.
Enclosed are some materials about Conservation International and
our Rapid Assessment Program and Geographic Information System in
which you were interested. Please let me know if I can provide
additional information or answer questions.
The real purpose of this letter is the follow-up on our mutual
interest in AID and how best to proceed. As you know, my
husband, John Porter and I are both concerned about the possible
reorganization and would appreciate you insight.
I look forward to talking with you.

Boundless Horizons conveys the essence of what we do, the spirit of our
approach, and the values that over the years have shaped the Laboratory's
contributions to science and to society.
Civic leaders of wisdom and foresight have helped Fermilab to become
a national laboratory of the highest quality. We are grateful for your
commitment to scientific excellence, to technical innovation, and to learning
of many kinds.
I hope you share my pride in the vigor, excitement, and importance of
our achievements and our aspirations.

Dear Partha:
I have sent off the letters that you requested to Hilborn and Brownell and would
suggest that the best possible person to get in contact with concerning the joint
MIT/Harvard Medical Science Program would be Professor Felix Villars who could be
reached through the Physics Department at MIT. I suspect that Felix is very near to
retirement but he has been one of the architects of this joint program over the past
many decades and knows everyone involved. He has also been one of the people most
closely involved with the buildup of the faculty and of the program itself, so if he
himself is not actively involved at the moment, he most certainly would be the right
person to put you on the appropriate track. Let me know with a brief phone call
when you plan to contact him and I will put in an introductory call.
I am, of course, happy to provide letters of recommendation whenever you want them.
With warmest best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Allan :
As a follow-up of our recent telephone conversation, I am enclosing my updated
Curriculum Vitae, a copy of the Physics Today ads, and copies of the two letters that I have
written to MIT and Amherst. The contents of the letters are essentially the same, with a different
emphasis towards the end. If you have the time, and are able to find out any specifics about the
MIT position, I would greatly appreciate it.
As we had also discussed earlier, I would welcome an introduction to the world of
nuclear medicine in the Boston area through your contacts, at your convenience. As you know, I
have no teaching responsibilities for the next year, and I hope to explore these possible future
avenues for the next stage of my career.
Thank you for taking the time to write these letters on my behalf. I am afraid that I will
probably be imposing on you in the near future to write a few more.
Best regards.

Dear Dr. Bromley:
Oscar Touster stepped down from the chairmanship of the ORAU Board of Directors
this year after holding that position for 12 years. Prior to that he was ORAU
Councilor for Vanderbilt University from 1963 through 1972 and Chairman of the
Council during 1970, 1971, and 1972. Then he was elected to the Board in a
regular "sponsoring institution" slot.
ORAU is planning to recognize Oscar for his many years of service to ORAU at the
annual council meeting this year. On Monday evening, October 28, a dinner is
being planned in his honor. We will, of course, present him with a suitable
gift from the Corporation but I would like him to have a collection of letters
from his ORAU colleagues. You may wish to write such a letter and send it to
ORAU headquarters to be placed in an album for presentation at the dinner.
Please mail it to Ann Patton in the President's Office in Oak Ridge before
October 1. Enclosed is an abbreviated biographical sheet which includes mention
of his ORAU affiliations and a stamped envelope for your convenience.
Thank you for joining me in expressing appreciation for the exemplary service
Oscar Touster has given ORAU and the region over the past 28 years.
Sincerely,
Paul It. Parks/k

September 19, 1991
Dear Oscar:
It is always more than a little startling when one of the
fixed stars in any environment moves. You have indeed
established for yourself a more than justified reputation as
one of those stars in your years of service leading the
ORAU Board. I remember with very real personal pleasure
the period when I served under your chairmanship on that
Board and was impressed then and, even more in
subsequent years, by your outstanding judgment and firm
guidance of ORAU affairs.
As you step down from the Chairmanship you can be very
much satisfied and proud of what you and your associates
have accomplished in terms of developing a model for
interaction among a region's universities and its major
federal laboratory. You have also, of course, been a leader
in your own university and its affairs and have represented
its interests most effectively on the ORAU Board.
As a distinguished scientist, first at the Atlas Powder
Company, then at the Abbott Laboratories, and since 1947,
at Vanderbilt University, you have demonstrated superb
taste in your choice of scientific interests and a passion for
excellence that has been contagious.
To my own warmest congratulations on this occasion, I am
privileged and proud to add those of President George
Bush, who has asked me to convey to you his thanks and
appreciation for your effective leadership in your own
university, on the ORAU Board, and in the national
scientific community.
We would take this occasion to wish you a long, healthy,
happy and rewarding retirement; let me also say that I
have a deep suspicion that you are one of those who will
unquestionably flunk retirement.

Dear Professor Patchel:
I am responding to your letter of June 27 in which you invite me to deliver one of the
lectures in your Distinguished Lecturers series.
While I am pleased and honored by the invitation, I regret that I must tell you that
my schedule for the remainder of this year is to overcrowded that I simply cannot
make any further commitments. Part of this reflects the fact that I have scheduled
extensive travel outside the country following up on bilateral and multilateral science
and technology agreements at the head of state level.
The delay in responding to your letter simply reflects my effort to find a way to work
in this commitment among those already on my calendar. I have finally had to admit
defeat and regret that is so because it is quite clear from the names of those quoted
in your letter who have been distinguished lecturers in previous years makes it clear
that this is indeed a very prestigious series.
Again, my apology for the delay and my thanks for your kind invitation.
With all best wishes,
Sincerely yours,

This is probably not worth doing. As
indicated by the attached description of
Northern Illinois University, it is a less
selective college in the Chicago suburbs
without much history of scientific achievement.
The trip might be worth doing if you wanted
to combine it with a visit to Argonne, which
you have said you wanted to do. But
Northern Illinois is asking for so much of
your time -- a lecture, a dinner, and two
seminars -- that you would be out of the
office for at least two days, and maybe three
if you went to Argonne.

Re: Northern Illinois University Distinguished Lecturers Series
Dear Dr. Bromley:
I have been asked, on behalf of a special faculty committee
appointed by the Provost of Northern Illinois University, to invite
you to give one of the lectures in our Distinguished Lecturers
Series. The Series is designed to bring outstanding individuals
from a wide variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary areas to
our campus to stimulate the intellectual life of the University
through discussions of significant contemporary issues. During an
overnight visit, speakers are asked to give a lecture to the
University community on a topic of current significance, and to
participate in a faculty seminar and a graduate student seminar.
The University also hosts a reception and dinner in the Lecturer's
honor to which faculty are invited. Distinguished Lecturers
receive an honorarium, plus travel and lodging expenses.
Two Distinguished Lecturers are invited each year, one in the
spring, and one in the fall. Dr. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. was our
first Distinguished Lecturer, speaking on the topic of the post-
Cold War world. Dr. John Brademas, president of New York
University, will be our second Distinguished Lecturer, speaking
this fall on the topic of government and the university.
I hope that you will consider accepting our invitation to be
a Distinguished Lecturer. If you would like further information,
please contact me at Northern Illinois University College of Law at
(815) 753-1380, or at my home at (815) 758-4355.
Very truly yours,

Dear Enid:
This is a belated reply to your note of July 1 with which you sent me two interesting
pieces of background reading concerning the problem of neurobiological disorders.
Your point is, indeed, well taken but I find that the institutes have perhaps
understandable fondness for their existing titles and would be very reluctant to
change them despite the excellence of your argument.
I will, however, keep your point in mind and whenever the occasion arises will
continue to urge what seems like a very reasonable and important change.
Please give my warmest best wishes to Dick. I hope that all goes well with both of
you and I know only too well how difficult it must be for you having such a very
personal stake in our progress in the understanding and study of neurobiological
disorders.
As you know, we have made this the Decade of the Brain and I am enclosing herewith
a brochure turned out recently by my office that you may not already have and which
may be of interest to you.
Sincerely yours,
Alan

Dear Dr. ailay Bromley:
On behalf of the Board of Directors for the Geographic Information and Spatial

your views at this joint Federal/industry conference on geographic information
systems and spatial data policies in the Federal Government. The theme of the

systems, spatial data coordination and management, and Federal policies for
spatial data programs and funding. Senior representatives from the Office of
Management and Budget, General Accounting Office, General Services
Administration, other Federal agencies, and industry will discuss the
importance of geographic information system technology to national and global
economic and environmental issues, the investment of Federal dollars in
geographic information system programs, and the public benefits that will be
realized from these current and future investments.
GISDEX is being organized by senior executives from organizations such as the
Departments of Agriculture and Interior, the Environmental Protection Agency,
the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Army Corps of
Engineers, as well as industry leaders from IBM, SUN Microsystems, PRIME, the
Intergraph Corporation, the Environmental Systems Research Institute, SPOT
Image Corporation, and Earth Resources Data Analysis Systems.
Your perspective as Assistant to the President for Science and Technology will
provide vital insights on the issues of managing spatial data in the Federal
Government. We hope you will accept. this invitation to speak during Plenary
Session III, "GIS and Spatial Data Policies in the Federal Government," on
July 9, 1991, between 2:30 and 4:15 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City,

Sincerely yours,
