Herb,
	Great idea!  No sense in not performing some jujitsu when the  
President is so off balance and pull him in our direction.  Don't  
forget CABE when you contact groups.
	It would be wonderful t see us get political in this fashion so that  
we might be more effective and aligning the culture with tools of  
communication.
