Dear Dick;

     At last week's regents meeting I offered some remarks on the University's
recent and ongoing study of "Enrollment Planning for Tidal Wave II." I continue
to study the various published reports from your office and I am gathering some
further data in preparation for writing up my own analysis of this important
subject.  As you know, my previous studies/reports on UC financial matters have;
often been at odds with the positions taken by the UC administration.

     I think it would be most constructive all around if we could engage in some
direct intellectual exchange on this subject as soon as possible. Could you,
therefore, please arrange for me to meet with you and/or some of your knowledgable
staff so we may discuss a number of issues critical to this study and sort out
the relevant data?

Sincerely,

Charlie
