<P><FONT SIZE=2>Dear Mr. Tompkins,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I wanted to follow up with you regarding your message on the language policy list serve. My organization, AMIDEAST, publishes a quarterly newsletter for overseas U.S. education advisers. 'The plight and promise' of non-native speakers in American universities is a timely issue for us, and my editor may be interested in publishing excerpts of your essay, if you were interested in such an opportunity. I will be leaving the office shortly, but you may contact her directly if you would like to pursue the matter further.</FONT></P>

</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've been asked to write an essay about exciting summer reading in higher education. I'd like to do something on the plight and promise of non-native speakers in American universities if there is a really worthwhile recent book that deals with this. Knowing that this is not exactly the subject of this listserv, I am writing anyway, because I'm sure some folks on it will have advice. I'd love to hear from you.</FONT></P>
