Subject: RE: CF30
I have no problem with you and I would never ask Pedro to be part of it at all. As you said, I think we are big people that
can take care of our own problems.
I'm not asking for diplomacy nor anything else other than necessary to maintain our good and respectful relationship.
I understand what you are saying but there is a huge gap between being "hard" or "rude".
No hard feelings. Let's just move forward since we do not have time to waste as you said and I agree.

I didn't call you Friday because I thought you might be exhausted from the week.
If diplomacy is what you seek at all times, I'm afraid you have the wrong person.
I am an Luber conscience person — I think about everyone position and am empathetic. lam, however, of the view that politeness is an
overrated virtue at times.
I may VIEW your email as being hypersensitive, but at the same time, I will make better efforts to construe more diplomacy and tact.
That said, if you have problem with me still, please take it up with Pedro. Otherwise, let's be !big people and work out the iproblern
rather than waste time sqivabbliing.

Bruce -- I don't like your tone and I politely ask you to never speak or send an e-mail like that to me again. Ok? I don't
know with whom you are used to work with but this will not work for me. Right? I think we are getting along pretty well
and there is no need for you to blow it. I offered to talk to you on Friday at anytime. I stayed at the office until almost
22hs working in several matters but you never called.
Nonetheless, in regards to the CF30, I shall have it reviewed and sent to the FCA soon. I have not yet made my mind in
regards to Miura and I need someone specialized to assess the material you sent to me.
Feel free to call me whenever you want.
Thanks
Leo
