Dear Glen:

Thank you for your e-mail of last Thursday, including David Kendall's report on my annual review. It is useful to me to have a permanent record of his report, to augment the notes I made afterward. I also appreciate being informed that the revised set of future plans was to be submitted by today.

As required, I am pleased to submit in the following pages my revised plans, which document the steps I have taken to date, and those I am planning, to secure permanent employment. I trust they will be satisfactory, and effective. I intend to modify and augment them as necessary, and will notify you of any major changes.

I will submit an interim report on my progress by September 1, 1997, but am hopeful that before that time I can report having secured a potentially permanent position.

Yours sincerely,

David P. Steele
