I had a strong hand in the content. Kevin All, Attached is the final version of the letter that we faxed to McCain today. I know some of you wanted a chance to make comments but there just was not enough time left. I received McCain's request when I came to work early yesterday (the 29th) morning. His letter asked for a response by today, in time for him and Lieberman to introduce an amendment to the Energy bill. With a huge amount of help from Kevin, I put together this response yesterday morning--it took about 6 hours of going back and forth. Then Cindy assembled the raw material into a good first draft letter yesterday afternoon. Rick -- ***************************************************************************** Dr. Richard A.
