   SG1 I Dear
        Enclosed are several draft copies of SRI's proposal for the
   Users' Requirements Study. I'm extremely apologetic for the
   delay and want to assure you that it does not in any way reflect
   a lack of interest in the study. Contractual obligations were
   pressing and the interdisciplinary nature of the proposed study
   required considerable coordination within SRI.
        In the review process it was pointed out that the Office of
   Management and Budget must approve all questionnaires used on a
   government project. To circumvent this procedure, it is probably
   desirable to change the term "questionnaire" to "user interview
   form" in the proposal; however, for the sake of expediency I did
   not feel that it was necessary in this draft version.
        Philip Whalen, the department director, and I will both be
   in town the week of 2 January 1977 and, hopefully, will be able
   to discuss this effort with you at that time.
   Sincerely,
   Barbara J. Ripple
