Center for Macromolecular Crystallography
University of Alabama - Birmingham
THT-Box 79, University Station
Birmingham, AL 35294
Dear Dr. charlie Bugg:
This letter concludes the 1989 review of the NASA sponsored Center for the
Commercialization of Space (CCDS) -- Center for Macromolecular Crystallography
(CMC). It is a pleasure to inform you that your center has achieved the
highest CCDS score from the objective evaluation process used during your
August review at NASA Headquarters. In addition, your affiliates' assessments
provided very positive insight relative to your center; copies of their
assessments are enclosed.
You and your staff are providing excellent leadership in facilitating the
Commercial Use of Space. It is through efforts like yours and your affiliates
that the future of the United States in space commerce will be carved out. In
a sense, CMC is paving the way for utilizing space for business and science
opportunities in the 21st Century. Based on your progress and successful
experiments aboard several shuttle flights, you are setting a precedent that
is worthy of emulation by each member of the CCDS family. The cooperative
environment CMC has developed with the U.S. universities and industry will
help develop the foundation for strengthening this nation's position in the
international competitive arena that is developing in space commercialization.
In addition, your willingness to work diligently within the NASA CCDS program
and matrix science and technology to expedite and cost effectively achieve
common goals is helping to develop a cohesive force that is unprecedented in
government, university and industry relationships.
Specifically, you have depicted CMC as having clearly defined goals and
objectives that are heavily funded by industry. You have an excellent advisory
structure with an active board which demonstrates an outstanding commercial
focus. The quality of your staff is excellent and highly regarded within the
science community. Your technology development is right on target inasmuch as
it is very focused and projects selected are based on industry input.
The professional visibility of your CCDS is very high as seen by the numerous
publications in refereed journals, professional society activities and the
conduct of your annual symposium. You have demonstrated excellent leadership
in developing feasibility studies with businesses and understanding the user
market. It is apparent by the memberships/partnerships that CMC has developed
a good representative client base. In the area of commercial product development
you have portrayed highly patentable products and excellent product focus. The
establishment of Biocryst as the first CCDS Spin-off commercial company has shown
the CCDS program that it can be done and has provided incentives for others to
follow.
Our compliments to you for a job extremely "well-done".
Sincerely,
Raymond P. Whitten

Institutions, Communicating Through
Quality Broadcast Productions
PSAs and instructional/informational video
and audio can be produced for institutions
such as hospitals, medical centers, univer-
sities, and government agencies (i.e., the
award-winning drinking and driving series
of PSAs produced by ETS for the Okla-

homa Department of Highway Safety).
Technological advancements or break-
throughs in surgical techniques, for
example, can be efficiently communicated
worldwide in a matter of hours.
What Is The Future Of ETS?
OSU's commitment to telecommunications
excellence has established ETS as the first
educational teleport in the U.S., a premier
facility that will make OSU a focal point for
commerce and industry in the years to
come, using the latest high-tech delivery
system to serve today's business and
educational needs.
With the unlimited knowledge base
existing in the faculty of OSU and the state,
national, and international networking
capabilities of NUTN and ASTS, program-
ming possibilities are endless. It is with a
spirit of adventure, optimism, and excite-
ment that we anticipate what lies ahead.

Dear Mr. Swift:
Per our conversation this morning, the attached information is provided
to describe Oklahoma State University and to indicate our interest in your
support for a series of telecon ferences emenating from OSU highlighting
on the President's education goals.
We propose to hold a series of teleconferences dealing with education
issues and sharing with other colleges and universities as well as secondary
education institutions across the country.
Our first teleconference would involve live broadcast feeds of the
President's addresses at both the OSU Commencement and later May 4th to
the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence. (Our assumption is that the
President will highlight the importance of education and indicate
administration goals in his speeches. Assuming he does further define
his education objectives, we believe the message would be well received
at many additional sites.) At the conclusion of the President's speeches,
we would have reaction to his comments by key educational leaders
indicating support for the President's initiatives. On datco scheduled
subsequent to May 4, we would hold at least two other live interactive
video teleconferences featuring educational leaders and state governors
sharing innovative programs that have been successful in their respective
states. We would ask governors to share the education initiatives that
they have begun since the Education Summit in Williamsburg.
It should be noted that Oklahoma State University is a national leader
in distance learning and satellite transmission of educational programming
and coursework. The National University Teleconference Network is head-
quartered at OSU and has membership of more than 300 institutions nation-
wide. We believe these teleconferences will make for an extremely useful

work for national exchange of ideas in subsequent teleconferences.

Subject: Preliminary Advance Af Team Visit
Harry W. Birdwell
We have been notified by the White House that the preliminary advance team will
be in Stillwater on the 27th of March at 11:30 a.m. We will meet briefly in my
office and will go at noon to Suite 1600 for lunch. After a working lunch, we
will move to the Council Room of the Student Union. This will be an opportunity
to answer many of the questions that we have, to get to know the appropriate
contact people at the White House, and to go over the logistical arrangements
for the activity. Please come prepared with any questions you may have for which
answers are needed.
We have been asked to keep our group small so that productive work can occur.

PRESIDENT'S OFFICE

Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mrs. Bush:
Each year Oklahoma State University presents the Henry G. Bennett
Distinguished Service Award to individuals who have truly rendered
outstanding and unselfish service to our fellow human beings. The Award is
named as a lasting tribute to a former President of Oklahoma State
University, Henry G. Bennett, who, along with his wife, lost their lives in
a plane crash in Ethiopia during an American educational mission related to
the Point Four project.
Because of your continuing service to promote literacy and the cause of
education, Oklahoma State University and its governing Board of Regents
wishes to honor you by presenting you with the Henry G. Bennett
Distinguished Service Award during Commencement exercises on May 4, 1990.
Dr. Bennett had a vision for the University that enabled OSU to follow
through even after his untimely death. It seems to the world, Mrs. Bush,
that you are sharing in the vision your husband has for this great country
of ours. You seem to have been able to strike the perfect balance of being
completely supportive of President Bush's mission without becoming embroiled
in political debate.
To millions of American families you have shown that there are values
in life which are not outmoded or outdated such as being a loving help mate
and an understanding mother and grandmother and still be able to take time
in your life for people and causes in which you believe.
President Bush has agreed to honor the University by giving the
Commencement address at Oklahoma State University on May 4, 1990. TO have
you accompany the President and let us honor you would please us beyond
measure.
(Continued on page two)
Mrs. George Bush
March 20, 1990
Page two
As First Lady of the United States of America, you have brought great
dignity and new appreciation to the position you hold. TO be very candid,
you have von the hearts of all Cklahomans as wall as all Americans, and it
would give us great pleasure to have you visit our campus on such a happy
occasion.
OSU will be 100 years old on December 25, 1990, which means we are in
the midst of celebrating many memorable events this year. Having the
President visit the campus during OSU's Centennial Year is an occasion to
which thousands of Oklahomans are looking forward with great anticipation.
To have the Presidential couple visit the campus would be a historical first
in our 100-year history. I respectfully ask you to consider the trip to OSU
with the President on May 4.
If you could let us know when your decision is made, we would be most
appreciative.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Savage, Chairman

Mrs. George Bush
The White House
Washington D.C. 20500
Dear Mrs. Bush:
It is a genuine pleasure to advise that the Board of Regents for Oklahoma
State University (OSU) unanimously approved you as a recipient of the 1990
Henry G. Bennett Distinguished Service Award. We are hopeful that you can be on
hand to accept this award at the May 4, 1990, Commencement commemorating
the 100th birthday of OSU. The only caveat in receiving this high honor is to be
present for the recognition.
Oklahoma State University annually recognizes unusually outstanding
individuals with the Henry G. Bennett Distinguished Service Award. This year, in
addition to your receiving the award, we will honor Wilma P. Mankiller, Principal
Chief of the Cherokee Nation, and H. F. Donnelley, a distinguished native son of
Stillwater, Oklahoma. Named in memory of the visionary leader who served this
University with great distinction as President from 1928 to 1951, this award is the
highest honor awarded by Oklahoma State University. Former recipients include
crew members of the first Apollo lunar mission, Emperor Haile Selassie, United
States Senator Henry Bellmon, Nobel laureate Norman Borlaug, Pennsylvania
Supreme Court Justice Juanita Kidd Stout, newsman Paul Harvey, and other
distinguished men and women.
Presentation of the award citation and medallion will be an important part
of our Commencement program, which highlights the academic year at OSU. The
Commencement exercises begin at 2:00 p.m. As you know, your husband, the
Honorable George Bush, will deliver the Commencement address. We will be in
touch with your staff regarding details of the schedule.
Meanwhile, we would appreciate receiving a biographical summary
highlighting your distinguished record of public and private service, a photograph,
and any additional information that might be useful in preparing appropriate
publicity releases and printed materials for distribution.

of Kenya needed surgery to
treat a congenital heart defect, she was
flown from her homeland to University
Hospital. She was the first person to
participate in a new program called
Heart-to-Heart. Begun by a UAB car-
diologist, the program is designed to
provide treatment for young African
patients and eventually establish a
nationwide network between doctors in
the United States and Africa.
Tragedy was turned to triumph in
August 1989 when UAB surgeons suc-

UAB Medical Center, providing health
care and medical research which bene-
fit not just Alabamians, but people
throughout America and the world.
The UAB Medical Center was named
by the authors of "The Best in
Medicine" as the third best overall
hospital in the country behind the Mayo
Clinic and Massachusetts General
Hospital. The Harvard professor who
compiled the rankings, based on
responses from 300 physicians and
other medical care professionals, said
UAB "was on everyone's list."
They cited UAB's Comprehensive
Cancer Center, one of 20 in the country,
for its research and treatment of the
disease, as well as for the nuclear car-

management at UAB. "Consequently,
employers are wanting graduates who
have a broad-based background, not
just in English composition and litera-
ture, but also in ethics, foreign cultures,
public speaking and computer literacy."
Universities once shied away from
placing additional requirements on
engineering, business and other
schools, partly because their curricu-
lums already were so stringent.
However, every UAB undergraduate
must complete courses in foreign cul-
tures, ethical reasoning and computers,
as well as traditional core courses in
English and mathematics.
"More and more, employers do not
want an accountant who can't go to the
symphony," Gauld says. "And with in-
ternational trade increasing, it's impor-
tant for graduates to be familiar with
Japanese and European cultures."
UAB even offers a major in interna-
tional studies, which can lead to careers
in foreign service, international busi-
ness, law or labor relations, or interna-
tional social service.

TO DESIGN THE
AMSOUTH/HARBERT PLAZA,
WE TOOK A FEW TIPS
FROM BIRMINGHAM.
It all started as a vision. We wanted to create a building that could be found only in
Birmingham, a city that has spent more than a century defining its own unique style.
And we wanted to create a building that would be an ideal workplace, filled with the
comforts and advancements of the modern business world.
Now the vision is real. The world renowned architectural firm of Hellmuth, Obata,
and Kassabaum designed AmSouth/Harbert Plaza to be a monument to Birmingham's future
and a reflection of its past.
It's a building where technology and detail are central to the vision. The most
sophisticated systems insure comfort and security. There's even a Retail Promenade. No
convenience has been overlooked.
The result is a blending of form and function, a timeless landmark to technology and
style. AmSouth/Harbert Plaza not only captures Birmingham's history. It will also shape
its future. For more information or a personal tour, call 323-2020. It just might be the best
business tip you've come across in years.

TWENTY-YEAR PERSPECTIVE:
REALITY BORN OF DREAMS
W
UAB was formally established, Joseph Volker-the campus's chief executive officer-
commented that the university would do a disservice to Birmingham
"if we dreamed too little dreams." His successor, S. Richardson Hill,
recalled those remarks a decade later and added that both the city
and state have been well served by the realities born of these dreams.
Now, at the completion of our second decade, it is appropriate that I,
as the third president, acknowledge what has been thus far achieved.
