I wrote to Mr. Sondow directly because I thought a simple refutation would
end a pointless thread. I was wrong. One INTA committee member wrote a
draft which was faxed to me just before I left for Monterrey. No other
committee member had viewed it before I got to Monterrey. Because INTA is
a real organization with real members, I could not take a document drafted
by one person and present it as the INTA position. So there was no INTA
proposal in my pocket. Ken Stubbs mentioned to me at Monterrey that he was
told by an INTA rep that there would be a draft and I confirmed as much. I
made it clear to anyone I spoke to at Monterrey, "easily impressed" or
otherwise, that the INTA mid-year meeting was two days after Monterrey and
that time the committee would take up the issue. I said this on the floor
of the meeting in an exchange with Mr. Semich - look it up in the minutes.

p.s. I am not "INTA's representative to the DNSO." There is no such animal.

p.p.s. This is my last word on this subject.
