Although we shall be meeting in about two weeks, I thought you and Dr. Kashin,
your responsible contact for Solid State Joining, would be interested in the en-
closed brief pre-view of our specific topics under this subject and the research
places and investigators with whom we have been discussing this subject. Our re-
sponsible contact, Dr. Heckel, has been informally communicating with Dr. Kashin and
Dr. Shorshorov.
I am pleased to point out that there is good general agreement between the en-
closed list of topics and the list you sent us. With this good start, we should
be able to arrive at a detailed protocol in this area very readily. I should em-
phasize, however, that the names of places and people on our list are only tenta-
tive-at this stage and will require further selection and discussion. Progress in
other technical areas under our Protocol and details of our investigators in these
areas will be presented to you at our meeting.
I look forward to seeing you in about two weeks and anticipate good, pro-
ductive results.from our meeting, as on previous occasions. In the meantime, best
regards and wishes to you.
