Dear Alex

Just read your message. These decisions are obviously very important, and
I can;t give them any thought now for at least a week. But just wanted to
let you know that (though I think I probably disagree with you at present
at least!) I'm not about to storm out of any rooms. I see your point, I'm
glad you care, and it's possible you're right. So your questioning hasn't
upset me, and I doubt you've upset anyone else. These difficulties are
bound to arise when so many disparate needs must be accommodated.

Could you clarify one thing: do you mean, actually use MARSEC and PROSICE,
or do you mean "the type of material that is in them"? I thought we had
agreed that we would collect some material of our own? I think our
concerns are that MARSEC etc don't give us the type of info we need for
the acoustic end of things.

Would YOrk like to respond to this?

Sarah
