Hi Folks,
Paul K3FU asked me to forward this to you all for review and comment. Please
look over the reply template for Chuck Keene and the draft text of the
coordination sheet going to General Habiger and return any comments to me by
Wednesday 30 Apr 97 so I can get the package going. I appreciate the help.

Steve,
Thanks for your efforts with this. All of these suggested steps are
excellent, and I fully concur. I only ask one favor of you,
specifically, that you send this message to the mailing list as a whole,
so that we can all be informed (not just John and myself) about these
positive developments.
73, Paul, K3FU
