These are "busy" charts, but provide a place to start. Let me know
your reaction and how you'd like to proceed with this preparation for
the Hill. I've dubbed In the Identities of the sponsors for obvious
reasons, at least until they have been released publicly. You will also
note that there are places where data Is missing, either because I
don't have the required Info or because It relates to a future, still
unscheduled, activity or event.
SG1 I
P.S. I spoke to Ed early this AM (left a note on his voice mail last
night) and he will FAX the "best" list sometime this morning (our
time).
Also have reo'd nothing re financial forms you mentioned - will
Dee send them to me or what?
