Is that the proposal mentioned in https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/opensources/book/kirkmck.html "In the fall of 1979, Bob Fabry responded to DARPA's interest in moving towards Unix by writing a proposal suggesting that Berkeley develop an enhanced version of 3BSD for the use of the DARPA community." predating "The New ARPA VAX UNIX Project" https://archive.org/details/login_january-1981/page/12/mode/2up CSRG TR/4: Proposals for enhancement of UNIX on the VAX https://archive.org/details/csrgtr4/mode/2up
