I'd appreciate you contacting the others. including General Pete Chiarelli. who I continue to hear about. I assume the communication would be that we'll be announcing a decision, but not who.

I. understandthat you are moving to closure on a ?ne! appointment. which is terri?c! Before this is announced. i would like to advise the prospective-candidates who expressed interest in this opportunity of the statue of the search. so that they don?t read about it in the media. Can you tell me the current plans for a prospective announcement of your appointment? Any communications on my and would be timed to happen just before a public announcement from UW. Also. I want to thank you and Kristi for the time and energy you committed this week to meeting with the three externai prospects. I want to make sure that they are noti?ed in person of the pending action by the Regents. I?d be glad to contact them. but would defer to you if you felt that you wanted to personally let them Know where things stand. Thanks 4and fat me know if there is anything else that i can do to support your efforts to bring this to a successful conclusion!
