His telephone number is (202) 737-1872. <br />I simply want to make sure that we are thinking this through <br />as carefully as we can, doing the right thing, and than there is <br />not something here we are overlooking. <br />Jim, thank you very much. <br />Very truly yours, <br />~~ v <br />Luke J.
