       Dear Friends and Collegues,
                                I also had just a few minor
    comments on the multiplicity paper which I communicated 
    to Steve by phone. I think it is very important
    that we submit the paper to the Los Alamos server
    before the Phobos sends there 200GeV result
    there. I realise that we have to wait a week for
    BNL to check the paper before sending it to PLB.
    Could that not be done today?
                   Yours Michael
