Dear Jean,
Please
find enclosed three copies
of a request
for
a modification
to
Classification Guide.
the
Security
In retrospect,
all the experimental data, results, theories and protocols collected or developed under
contract DAMD 17-85-C-5130
are not inconsistent with what
is generally
available
in the open
literature.
For example,
as
a
result of the meta-analysis task
for FY
1989, we found
that our
quantitative measures are statistically inseparable from those resulting from experiments conducted in
open
laboratories.
Therefore,
in my
opinion,
removing
the
requested
paragraphs
from
the
Classification Guide does not compromise our program, nor does
it reveal a specialized capability.
The requested minor (3 of 10 paragraphs) change is consistent with this observation.
If you have any
questions regarding this request, please contact
A timely response would greatly appreciated in that
it would assist us in the documentation for FY
1989.
Should this request be granted, please mail a signed copy to us for our records. Thank you for
your help.
Best regards,
Edwin C. May, Ph.D.
Director, Cognitive Sciences Program
