this time that would adversely affect our regular unrestricted annual giving, which is so important for meeting general Barnard expenses. I said I didn't care if we got $200,000, $100,000, or $50,000 of the Reid money, or none, but that we needed to know now what, if anything, we had to spend. So wish me luck! 

I will be working on three lists over the next days 
1) possible Advisory Comm. members 
2) possible Lawyers Comm. members
3) contacts in the media, including radio + TV, for possible help in our visibility. 

The top top priority as I see it as of now is your administrative assistant so that the Center is really in business as [a] unit all its own. 

I plan to be in town each week Mondays through Wednesdays in case we need to meet. Incidentally my apt. (85th St.) is air-cooled in case we'd like to meet there for discussions with ice-tea, spiked or otherwise. My country number is 914-232-3466. 

Sorry this isn't typed even though perhaps it's more legible than if it were! Read some place that the essence of women's lib is "how to succeed in business without really typing." How true! 

Love, 
Elly
