I won't "stick to reliable" 'cuz i don't know the guy. If you don't like

Here's the bio on Lytel from their sit:
"David Lytel founded the committee. He served in the White House Office of 
Science and Technology Policy in the first Clinton Administration and was a

no phone #, only email. i'll try that BUT who wants to wait for the guy to 
answer his email??
