0511 -
051101 - Hank said he received and reviewed ref DIP 6 0001 submitted at
051102 - ref SDS 20 0001, and has taken actions on pending matters.
051103 -
051104 -     I am almost struck dumb.  At last someone who reads his mail, who
051105 -     starts with a baseline of understanding, which seems antithetical
051106 -     to the executive mindset to rush ahead with solutions and
051107 -     complaints before understanding the facts, as shown in the record
051108 -     on 960326. ref SDS 15 7390
051110 -      ..
051111 -     I am inclined to the view that the military culture of running
051112 -     things on documents, similar to construction is at work here.
051113 -
051114 -
051116 -  ..
051117 - General Hatch has Talked to Pete at Kaiser
051118 -
051119 - Hank said he has talked to Pete Offringa at Kaiser, per planning on
051120 - 960402. ref SDS 20 0120  Pete said he wanted Hank to do the event and
051121 - would advise Sherrill of this.
051123 -  ..
051124 - Hank said Pete was unaware that PMI had replaced Hank with Pete on the
051125 - agenda.  Pete will advise Sherrill that he will not speak in place of
051126 - General Hatch under the circumstances where Hatch has accepted the
051127 - invitation.  They left it that they might work out something jointly
051128 - to do, per planning on 960401. ref SDS 18 H94I  This is a good
051129 - approach because we need an opening speaker to replace Walsh.

2906 - 1232 called Bill
290701 -  ..
290702 - Advised of above discussions.  Bill feels the record requires
290703 - clarification in order for the Asilomar Committee's work to proceed
290704 - correctly.  He will talk to Sherrill about the best course for
290705 - finalizing the speaker slate.
290706 -
290707 -     [See follow up at ref SDS 23 line 100.]
290709 -  ..
290710 - I suggested he call Hank directly to coordinate on discussions with
290711 - Sherrill on the agenda.  This will position Bill to speak to Sherrill
290712 - with first hand knowledge.
290714 -  ..
2908 -
2909 -
2910 - 1249 received Hank's letter to Sherrill
2911 -   ..
291101 - Received ref DRT 2 line 30 transmitting via email Hank's letter
291102 - to Sherrill, confirming plans to speak at Asilomar. ref DRT 1 line 22.
291104 -  ..
291105 - This responds to my letter of 960328 requesting confirmation of Hank's
291106 - plan to speak, ref DIP 4 line 31 submitted at ref SDS 16 line 88, and
291107 - followed up at ref SDS 18 line 64, and further at ref SDS 20 line 69
291108 - where ref DIP 6 line 30 was prepared.
291109 -
291111 -  ..
291112 - Biography
291113 -
291114 - Hank also submits his biography which is included in the record
291115 - attached to the letter to Sherrill, ref DRT 1 line 55.
291116 -
291117 - This was requested at ref SDS 14 line 77 and at ref SDS 16 line 103.
291119 -  ..
291121 -  ..
291122 - Hank says he is not an ordained minister, ref DRT 2 0000 as set out in
291123 - the 960221 biography, ref OF 6 line 81.  The representation that Hank
291124 - is an ordained ministar came from Arijs at ref SDS 3 9071.
291126 -  ..
291127 - I prepared ref OF 7 9034 correcting the description of Hatch's record
291128 - by eliminating the reference to minister and adding mention of his
291129 - awards and memberships in professional organizations per his bio at
291130 - ref DRT 1 7453.
291131 -
291132 -    I need to get the change in Hanks bio to Bill's attention.

2913 -
2914 - 1517 called Bill
2915 -   ..
291501 - He has talked to Hank and confirmed the understandings per
291502 - above.  He plans to speak to Sherrill and then let Hank know where the
291503 - whole thing comes out.
291505 -  ..
291506 - If Sherrill simply wants to get credit for brining in a key speaker,
291507 - the obvious solution is for Pete to do the opening and Hank do the
291508 - close, per Hank's idea above.  Bill will bring this up at the
291509 - committee meeting on Friday.
