Best, Tak

Subject: Re: meeting on Dec. 20
Dear Tak: Thank you for the telephoned
invitation to meet with you and
David Johnson in New York on or
around December 20th. Regrettably I will
not be available as I will be away.
I am nearly completely recovered from
surgery and expect to be back at
work as of January 24th, 2000. As David
may have mentioned to you, I have
worked to advance Native American causes
for many years and would be interested
in that aspect of the project.
I send best regards and look forward
to productive conversations in the new
year and millenium.
- Ron Wells
