Walton Smith advises me that Jack Randall has consented to 
join the staff* of the Miami Marine Laboratory next year, but for 
the University administrators he needs to have three letters of 
recommendation and some proof that Randall has his PhD or is 
about to get it to satisfy the appointing officer. He would 
like to have a brief letter of recommendation in Randall's 
behalf from Ted Bayer, Leonard Schultz and Waldo Schmitt which 
will include a statement that he has his PhD from the University 
of Hawaii. 
If you will let a© have such a letter at your early con- 
venience, I will mail it with mine to Walton Smith.
