I've been working with Martin and Harvard. They are not doing much at all. I'm going to put $6M of our grant in an external philanthropic vehicle (either a DAF or simply an exter=al account; with will save the project $600k in overhead) and put about $5M through Harvard, but nonetheless his center needs to be viable. As before, =e can pick up the costs of administration but he needs a real solution for th= rent, which we can't fund because of charter restrictions. If we can't do that he has to close PED. There is no other option. Perhaps we could get together some co-funders that could cover the rent part. I'm going to try Richard Watson of Cleveland gave Harvard $2M a few years back (and who is interested in game theory), a=d a few others that I know. Would you be in a position to make any additional contributions at all? Does anyone come to mind who Martin might approach (a=d who we might talk to first?). I want to make this work!

I'll reconnect with him soon. Barnaby 2 EFTA_R1_01663800 EFTA02524564
