Dear Hank:

Since I've received several calls about whether we were working on a publication about CFE together U thought I should clarify matters. I answered the first of these calls in the negative about being involved in any such project, although I now recall that you mentioned to me some eight years ago, shortly after we got back from Vienna, a possible project on CFE with which I agreed to cooperate if you got it goind. I understand that it got sidelined shortly thereafter in the course of your other work at Harvard, and I haven't thought about it for seven years. I clarified this in subsequent calls I've received.

I've recently participated in an oral history project at Ohio State with Oleg Ginevsky and others on CFE, and Lynn Hansen has also asked me to consider participating in one. If you resuscitate yours, of course, I would be willing to take part in that as well, but I would prefer to answer questions as part of an oral history rather than be responsible for drafting a chapter. If you want some help in selecting participants I'm also willing to do that.

Feel free to share this letter with whomever you please.

My best wishes to Janie and the girls.
