in clarifying tho projecta and programs which could be established
horn, in raconaanding the configuration of computer cqnipnant which
would ha halpfnl. and in racoaaanding parronncl to participate and
catabliah thia unit. Hia advica and anpport havn boon fundamental
to tho auccaoa of thia unit. At all tinca. I found his ondaratanding
of the problcna which I praaantcd (including hit grasp of anhjccta
aa alactrocncaphalography. which warn novcl to his aapariancc).
During the initial yaar. I raqnnstad his halp in tho praparation of

In addition to aatahliahing our cantor, I have always found
