Dear Mr. Casey,
please reply to:
251 East 51st Street
New York, New York 10022
February 9, 1983
You will recall that some time ago and
I came to visit you in your office on the
occasion of asking your advice about fun ing a special
project on the private enterprise system by a foundation
of which bot and I were trustees. You may be inter-
ested to know our advice was followed; the grant was
made, and the project has been extremely successful.
I now write on another matter. A colleague of mine
from UCLA - Graduate School of Business Administration,
Professor and I are working on a book. on
corporate intell:ige. was one of the
authors of the book

I would like to ask if you would provide me with any
unclassified material on the subject of business intelligence.
If such material is available, and related to specific.
companies, might the corporate names be eliminated? Our
objective is to be useful to the business community, not
otherwise, and I have had a good deal of private support
from senior executives in major corporations.
Naturally, it would be helpful if I could discuss the
matter with you personally, and should be pleased to come
to Washington to do so. For example, the history of the
nomenclature of classified information is a subject we deal
with briefly, and this, too, I think you would find interesting,
and is a subject I would like to go over with you.

I. know you have vastly more important things to do
than to help a professor on a research and writing
project, but I have thought that because of the nature
of the research, and its inherent interest, and the
people involved, that you might find some time to discuss
it, and to ask someone on your staff to provide some related
unclassified materials.
Sincerely,
