[Peace] Fwd: Qumsiyeh Visit

[Morton K.Brussel]

Hi Omar, I received the reply from Qumsiyeh reproduced below. He asks 
about costs and firm dates. So we have to act quickly if we want him to 
come. Perhaps you would reply to him directly as to the dates. As for 
the costs, I will bring this up with AWARE for a sharing of the costs 
and co-sponsoring talk/activities.

  Incidently, you might want to scan his website for recent letters he's 
written.
