Thank you Larry. I want to check though: without further explanation, one might infer that this email is itself "the report", albeit a very terse one. Looking at the action, which remains open, I see the note dated today (actually tomorrow, due to time zone differences!) that says of the report "delayed, came out with an outline today". So, I assume that a fuller report is planned, probably by the current due date of 11 Nov? Thanks.
