Mr. Anthony F. Sharp
Director, International Operations Mead Data Central
9333 Springboro Pike P.O. Box 933 Dayton. Ohio 45401 U.S.A.
Dear Mr. Sharp:
I apologize that it has taken us all this "time to reply to your letter dated January 18, 1984.
I wish to thank you for the hospitality you showed to Professor Honesto G. Nuqui and Atty. Antonio Santos when they visited the United States in November last year. We give special thanks to Ms.
Suzanne Grey of your San Francisco office and Mr. Buzz Reed, Ms.
Kathy Reamer and Kathy Boland of your Dayton office.
Prof. Nuqui and Atty. Santos brought back many of their ob- servations and a pack of materials, including some LEXIS printouts which they have shared with all those involved in the LEGIS Pro- ject of the University of the Philippines. The two were very enthu- siastic about LEX IS, specially its overall "friendliness" and the extent of its database. They have gone so far as to say that - barring only economic constraints - the two would recommend aLEXIS.
like system for our LEGIS Project. Being a lawyer myself and having seen the use of LEXIS in the United States,Ialso share their enthu- siasm over the system.
The LEGIS Project of the University is a joint project of our Computer Center and our Legal Resources Center.Itis meant to be a University project. We expect that the development costs will be covered mainly by University funds - meaning government money since U.P. is a state university, contributions from other govern- ment offices such as our Ministry of Justice and possibly our legisla- tive body, the Batasan Pambansa, and finally some grant money.
Eventually we expect the project to be self-sustaining so that reve- nue can at least offset the maintenance costs. In this respect you ight say that our LEGIS will be somewhat like the FLITE and the JURIS in the United States since both are government-supported.
The LEGIS project has not met with too-much progressbasi- cally because of lack of hardware. However, the collection of all the data which has to be keyed in is well in progress.
In addition to hardware, we also need a lot of help and advice specially now that we are starting up. We know of course that Mead -Data Central has accumulated years of experience in setting up, , developing and maintaining LEX IS. We would like to benefit from this experience. In retorn, we can offer access to our data on Philip- pine Law and our familiarity with the Philippine legal market. The collection of the University is extensive, probably the best in the
country. .
While LEGIS is a University project, we in the University look forward to some working" .relationship with a private corporation such as Mead Data Central. We hope that we can identify some spe- cific areas ot cooperation.
In this connection, Professor Nuqui and two other members of the LEG IS staff are scheduled to visit the United States sometime late this month or early next month. They are trying to schedule a visit to your San Francisco office - where Prof. Nuqui met Suzanne Grey last year - and I hope there is sometibdy there they~ouldta.lk to. Their trip will be funded by the As'la Foundation which hasIts main offices at 550 Kearney Street, San Francisco and telephone"
(415) 982-4640. The travel arrangements are being made by Ms.
Martha Erickson of that office. You might havea-hardtime getting in touch with us in Diliman betcre the three leave for the United States but if your secretary can call Ms. Erickson, you might get an indication of when Prof. Nuqui will be arriving in the United States.
With this frank description of the situation, I hope you can evaluate what kind of exchange we might enter into. We certainly hope Prof. Nuqui can meet with some of your people so we can ex- plore the matter in more depth.
Verytruly yours,
(Sgd.) EDGAR DO J. ANGARA President

25 October 1964 1st Indorsement
Respectfully forwarded to the Honorable, the Director-General, National Economic Development Authority, Pasig, Metro Manila, the attached letter of Dean Leandro A. Viloria, School of Urban and Regional Planning (SURP), University of the Philippines, Dillman, containing two proposals for the Institutional and Faculty Upgrading Program, recommending approval thereof.
Both proposals have been approved in principle by the parties concerned, namely: The Australian International Development Pro- gram (AUIDP) which is established to encourage academic coopera- tion between universities in Australia and Asia; and, the Department of Town and Country Planning of the University of Manchester, England, which will jointly undertakea Technical Assistance Scheme with the SURP under the British Council.
Our recommendation is consonant with University policy to encourage linkages with outside institutions to make our units less dependent on scarce University resources. Through the program, our faculty in Diliman and Cebu can avail of fellowships, our researchers can take advantage of research grants and the School's library taciti- ties can be upgraded.
Dear Dr. Angangco:
I'm delighted to hear. that your chapter garnered the ultimate distinction Pi Gamma Mu can give. Dr. Hugh Bailey wrote me recently to break the good news.
I just hope your group will carryon with high-minded projects like the first Colloquia.
With bestregards and congratulations.

This refers to the fi~ethat gutted the Quezon Hall North-wing, University of the Philippines System, biliman, Quezon City, on September 26, 1984, as a result of which the Office of the President of the University was totally destroyed, including all the office sup- plies, equipment and other properties.
In this connection, may I request RELIEF FROM ACCOUNT- ABILITY for all properties covered by Memorandum Receipts in my name or the Office of the President which were lost due to the said fire. A complete list of such properties is attached hereto as Annex "A".
This request is being made pursuant to the provisions of P.O.
1445 and Section 556 of the Government Auditing Code of the Philippines and the National Accounting and Auditing Manual, Vol. II.
Your favorable consideration given this matter wilt be highly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
I fully endorse the request of our Statistical Center for Gennan Visiting Professors who can help guide our graduate students in ad- vanced probability theory and inference. stochastic processes and statististicat decision theorv. We will appreciate it also if fellowships for degree courses and for short-term training in statistics can be provided our faculty and staff.
Graduate education, in general, will be strengthened and im- proved in the next five years. Graduate education in statistics is 0 heavy priority but is hampered by limited resources and inadequate teaching force. Through our proposed collaboration, the Statistical Center hopes to be able to build a graduate faculty core who can handle graduate programs with the requisite competence,
We hope that academic institutions in the Federal Republic will respond favorably.
