RE: SHEFF v. O'NEILL/DAVID ARMOR 
  

Dear Martha & Phil: 

You were advised during Dr. Armor's deposition that some of 
his work was not yet complete. Among other things, Dr. Armor had 
not completed his study of Hispanic Achievement and his study of 
the relationship between socioeconomic status and college 
attendance in the Hartford area. This work is now substantially 
complete and trial exhibits are being provided to you with our 
full set of exhibits. 

Enclosed you will find the computational basis upon which 
the new exhibits are based. All of the specific information 
which Dr. Armor relied upon in conducting these analyses has been 
provided to you in various forms. 

Very truly yours, 

JRW: ac
