In regard to your note of Harch 27, l973, the arrangonant vith seecs quite reasonable to zo and probcbly the sost econczicel arrangenent that could be male for taking caro of the fish or a continuous casis. lovever, this is primerily a lesal, contractuel matter. I have provided copfes of the arrangements to our contract starf. My only coscern is that the persoanel ccsts lo cot exceed that stipulatei ia the negotiated contract.

Cince I cannct conscientioualy testify that attendance at the Data
Analysis cnd Forecasting course vill signiricantly contribute to tue
execution of the contrect, I cannot approve expencisure of Funds fcr that
purpose. Ts inforration gained must be directly relatel to our project,
aa opposed to the project area menticned by or a general
profeasiozal cepability erhanconont. ia the latter case, ahould bo willing to support yonr attendence.

I a verr happr to learn that the trnnsition phase of the operation betveen the tyo organizations vorkeu out vithout siszap.

Best rersonal regurls,
