OTTMAN • JENNINGS J..NEWCOM OFCOUNSEL * 4DMiTTED IN CALIFORNM i iLLIMOIS ONLY ' . I am responding to your letter of July 11 which1I re- ceived on July 22. My request for supporting data to verify the amount presented for reimbursement for the period ending March 31, 1979, is based on the following: 1. "Net Expenses" of $218,190.38, coupled with $699,131 previously submitted are considerably in excess of the project budget for this period. It also exceeds by approximately $50,000 Harvard's estimate ($168,300, including 10% Supplement) of remaining "proper charges" which was given to me on May 16, 1979. 2. -Dr. Huber advises that he was not consulted regarding the amounts submitted and has no way of com- paring'the amounts with his records. 3. There appears to have been no review of these expenses by Coopers & Lybrand. As set forth in the 1977 Agreement, expenditures of direct project funds require approval of the principal investi- gator. As we agreed''and!as was done with respect to the pre- viously submitted sum of $699,131, the grantors would like assur- ance from Dr. Huber that the "Net Expenses" represent charges

C SHOOK, HARDY & BACON Mr. Mitchell L. Adams Page 2 July 25, 1980 which have been approved by him. Short of an audit, the grantors have no other basis for verification. I understand Dr. Huber will contact your office regard- ing his willingness and availability to review the data. I am willing to come to Boston to assist Dr. Huber in this task. I will be out of the office during the first two weeks of August, but will be available thereafter. ~ After the matters contained herein~have been accomplished, we can discuss the other expenses which have been submitted and proceed with final termination arrangements. Once again, I appreciate the ongoing cooperation and assistance of Joyce Brinton and you. Sincerely, Lee E. Stanford LES:res cc: Dean Henry C. Meadow Gary L. Huber, M.D.
