I am attaching below an announcement for an event to be
held here next week, put on by the DC-Internet Society and CPSR, etc.

You will note Audrie Krause will be here representing CPSR.  You may
not have noticed but she has been flogging Andy's analysis, which was
adopted by the CPSR as an official position paper, on various lists.

~--<snip>--~

I will attend, and raise
appropriate questions/issues when the opportunity arises.

Best wishes,

Craig

Hi,

People in the beltway might be interested in this event.  The shut
down screwed up our planning since it's at the Smithsonian, so we're
now getting the announcement out on rather short notice.  So if you
have any friends or enemies who might be interested, please do pass
this along.  Thanks much,

Bill
