Thats pretty much the same information I sent to Wes Potter at USFRA. I will
fwd a copy to you as well. The list of names is quite long. If needed I can
do this by fax or bring a copy to the meeting friday. I have the package
from the start up in 1991. Lots of data on what we were rying to do with
LSA.
