You're in luck. We just added the Altman papers to our wonderful  
collection of Orson Welles materials. You'll have to ask the special  
collections people if they are accessible. They just arrived, so they  
have yet to be catalogued.

Here's an article about Altman's relationship to UM by emeritus prof.  
Frank Beaver.
