A ( K 4  −  e )‐design on v  +  w points embeds a P 3 ‐design on v points if there is a subset of v points on which the K 4  −  e blocks induce the blocks of a P 3 ‐design. It is shown that w  ≥ ¾( v  − 1). When equality holds, the embedding design is easily constructed. In this paper, the next case, when w  = ¾ v , is settled with finitely many exceptions. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
