It has been widely conjectured that there exists a homotopy commutative Diagram

where J is the stable Whitehead f-homomorphism and BSJ is the space constructed in [3]. In [4], Stasheff and the author proved that this conjecture is false. However, Quillen's proof of the Adams conjecture in [7] has as a corollary the existence of the homotopy commutative diagram
