Dear Cam 
I have finally run out of alternatives about 
■what to do with you ■when. We each drew a straw, 
tossed a penny on the map, threw a dart at the 
calendar and took the average. It has thus been 
determined, statistically signicant to the 95 °/o 
level, that your schedule is as enclosed. 
Kirkpatrick (your replacement) is feeling 
elated about leaving Washington - make it hard 
for him so I can say "I told you bo.” He just 
doesn»t believe me when I tell him how well off 
he is right here. You know, abets at Ft.. Detriclc, 
shots at SI, (no shots at Beefeaters), cutting 
orange strips, etc,, etc., etc., etc. 
Fare thee well, fair prince.
