Re:  Request for vacation  


As you know, my GEEP funding expires on March 30, 1990.  I have
accumulated 8 weeks of vacation, which I would like to take beginning
April 2, 1990 and continuing through May 25, 1990 in order to complete
my Ph.D.  June 4 is graduation day and also the day that I am
scheduled to leave my office at MIT.  I would like to take June 4 as a
personal day.  As May 28 is a holiday, this leaves four days (May
29-June 1), which I would like to take as an unpaid educational leave
of absence.

I have sent a copy of this request by regular mail and have enclosed a
copy of the thesis proposal, as it has been accepted by my thesis
advisor.  It demonstrates how much work has been done and the amount
of work left to do on the thesis.  (In addition to the proposal, my
thesis advisor has reviewed and commented on two other chapters, which
will become part of my thesis.)

Please let me know if this will be acceptible.

Thank you very much.

Wendy E. Mackay
