  I am writing to let you know that we have apparently struck pay dirt
  in the administration of the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychology Test
  Battery. Let me begin by expressing my appreciation for your guidance
  in suggesting this particular series of tests.
  According to the neuropsychologist who administered the tests, pre-
  liminary analysis of the data indicated very promising results. On
  the basis of the analyses to'date, it appears that a consistent
  pattern is emerging in which good performers in our area of interest
  show a very high level of proficiency in certain spatial tasks as
  compared to more average abilities in other tasks. (Some individual
  results were exceedingly atypical with respect to the established
  norms.) The preliminary findings suggested a congruence with other
  data 'on right versus left hemispheric specialization of sufficient
  strength that he added some special tests for this area. He is
  presently correlating the data with that obtained by the Department
  of Psychiatry, Palo Alto Medical Clinic, and will be forwarding
  his results to me shortly. As soon as the written report is in hand
  I shall send it along without delay.
  .Please distribute the additional copies of the letter to
                                    SG11 and as I do not have an expedient address for them. SG11
