Dear Matthew:
We have very little wiht re to California. This is why I think we should
partner to get the CA portion of the NALS to get done. Currently the Dept
of Adult Ed has not budgeted this (2002-3). I haven't heard any news lately
from your ED. She was going to try to arrange a discussion with DHS around
this and other issues and try to include me. I am confident that through a
collaboration with you guys, UC Primary Care Research Center, Dept of Adult
Ed, and DHHS, we could move forward. Any news on this front? If not, I'm
happy to take the lead.
