SAVAGE ALLIES OF NEW FRANCE

tangled among all these nets. The Nadoiiaissioux, who were in ambush, heard the sound of the bells and attacked the Hurons, of whom none could save himself except one, whom they sent back to his own country to carry the news of the affair. They are very lustful. They live on wild oats, which is very abundant in their marshes. Their country has also the utmost abundance of beavers. The Kristinaux, who also are accustomed to navigation, and their other enemies often compel them to take refuge in places where they have no other food than acorns, roots, and the bark of trees.
One of their chiefs, seeing that very few French were left in the fort (which is near them) when all the tribes marched against the Iroquois, raised a party of one hundred warriors in order to plunder the fort. This Frenchman displayed, on his return, the anger that he felt because they had acted so badly during his absence. The [other] chiefs had not been concerned in that plan, and came very near killing that chief; he was regarded, at least after that, with great contempt. When the renewal of the alliance was made the Frenchmen went back to their fort. There was one of them who complained, on going away, that a box of merchandise had been stolen from him; it was quite difficult to ascertain who had committed this theft, and recourse was had to a very odd stratagem. The commandant told one of his men to pretend to get some water in a cup in which he had put some brandy. As it was evident that there was no [other] means of recovering the box, they were threatened with the burning and drying up the waters in their marshes; and to strengthen the effect of these menaces, that brandy was set on fire. They were so terrified that they imagined that everything was going to destruction; the merchandise was recovered, and then the French

<p><b><font size="+1">Merge lane at TA-55 entrance (Pajarito Road and Pecos Drive)</font></b></p>
<p> Since Sept. 11, 2001 employees at Technical Area 55 have been required to 
  show their badges at a new guard post at the junction of Pajarito Road and Pecos 
  Drive. This requires waiting in a line of vehicles as each car passes through 
  the checkpoint. Pecos Drive is the road that runs north from Pajarito Road, 
  past TA-55 and down to TA-35. For many months there were orange construction 
  barrels on Pecos Drive just off of Pajarito Road. These barrels were of great 
  help in the merge process of drivers from westbound Pajarito Road and drivers 
  from eastbound Pajarito Road that were turning onto Pecos Drive. The barrels 
  made for a much safer merge situation. For some reason the barrels have been 
  removed creating an unsafe situation for eastbound Pajarito Road drivers turning 
  onto Pecos Drive.</p>
<p>When the barrels were in place, the merge point on Pecos Drive was well away 
  from the intersection at Pajarito Road. Now, with the barrels removed, many 
  drivers from west-bound Pajarito Road turn onto Pecos Drive and merge as quickly 
  as possible into the line of cars waiting to be checked at the guard post. This 
  causes a back-up of vehicles from eastbound Pajarito turning onto Pecos Drive 
  often leaving vehicles sticking halfway out onto Pajarito Road. With the speed 
  limit on Pajarito Road being 50 miles-per-hour, a major accident could easily 
  take place.</p>
<p>I'm not faulting drivers for poor merging skills; I'm simply asking that the 
  barrels be put back in place to create a safer merge situation. I've been told 
  that the barrels were moved to facilitate snow plowing. However, it hasn't snowed 
  substantially since late December. The barrels should be put back in place once 
  plowing has finished.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>

--------- GENERAL: ---------

As always, there were many miscellaneous minor bug fixes.

Added two new replay / tape scanning programs, namely 4play (for compressed 
  4-dimensional hypercubes) and incub8r3 (for compressed 3-dimensional cubes).
  These programs are similar to the old incub8r; for example, they allow for 
  non-linear gains through the use of look-up tables, etc.  However, they use 
  a custom-designed compression algorithm to reduce the size of the files 
  required to hold these huge histograms.
  See doc/4play.doc and doc/incub8r3.doc for details on how to use these
  programs, as well as associated programs such as make4cub, pro4d, pro3d, 
  and foldout.

Starting with RadWare96, the position and sizes of all graphics windows are 
  saved at normal exit of the programs, and restored at next entry.  The 
  values are saved in various files
  (Unix: .radware.xwg and .radware.xmg,  VMS: radware.xwg and radware.xmg)
  in the login directory.  However, some window managers have bugs that cause
  an improper positioning of the windows, so that with many executions of
  the programs, the windows tend to "walk" off the screen.  To prevent this,
  it is now possible to fix the values in the file, i.e. not have programs
  overwrite them with new values at program termination.  To do this, simply
  edit the .radwarew.xwg or .radware.xmg file and replace the first space 
  of the corresponding line with any non-blank character.  This will flag the 
  program that you wish for these values to be permanent.

Introduced two new cube formats.  These are compressed-data formats, and 
  result in significantly smaller files; they are also capable of handling 
  four Bytes per channel, i.e. counts greater than 32k without generating 
  overflows.  Like the two old formats, they contain either one-sixth or 
  one-half of the full cube histogram.

Removed incub8r_lib.f, and replaced it with incub8r3.c
Removed foldout.f and pro3d.f and replaced them with foldout.c and pro3d.c.
Added new programs make4cub, split4cub, pro4d.
The new pro3d and foldout accept either compressed or uncompressed formats as 
  input, while incub8r3 and the new foldout produce the new compressed cube 
  files as output.

Improved numbering of y-scale for axes in plotdata, pdedit and pdplot; 
  they now handle small numbers (between 0 and 1) properly, and automatically 
  use powers of ten for very large or very small values.

    --------- GF2: ---------

Made autocalibration routine in gf2 more robust, and more forgiving in the
  input spectrum.  In particular, the PeakFind (PF) FWHM parameter now
  determines the peak search width and thus the background window for the
  automatic peak integration.
  See online help (CA) and/or doc/autocal.doc for details on the 
  autocalibration function.

    --------- GLS, ESCL8R, LEVIT8R, 4DG8R: ---------

Added program 4dg8r for quadruples analysis.  4dg8r is essentially a 
  4-dimensional version of levit8r.

Levit8r was modified to accept the new compressed-cube formats.

88                              THE AMAZON AND MADEIRA RIVERS.
cascara by the Indians of Bolivia, and turury* bj^ those of the Amazon. Its cut is as simple and classical as its material. A hole is cut in the middle of a piece about 10 feet long, to pass the head through; and the depending skirt is sewn together on both sides, from below tip to the height of the girdle, which usually is a piece of cotton string or liana.
Another branch of industry our Indians were busy at, in their hours of leisure, was the fabrication of straw hats, with the young leaves of a kind of little palm, the same which supplies the excellent hats imported from Ecuador and Peril, and known in Europe under the name of Chile or Panama hats. Dexterity at all sorts of wickerwork seems to be innate to this race ; and the prettiest little baskets, and the finest mats of coloured palm leaves, are to be bought on the Missions of the Mamore" at the lowest prices.t.
But all these occupations are left at the call of the first-mate; who has the proud title of Capitano. The boats' crews crowd round their pots ; each one receives his allotted portion in a calabash or a basin of horn; and their spoons of the same material are soon in full activity. If a jacare has lately been shot, or caught in a laco (sling), every one, after roasting his own piece of it on the spit, proceeds to cut at the large slices of the white meat (which, though in appearance like fish, is as tough as India-rubber) with the satisfaction usually produced by three or four hours of hard rowing on view of anything eatable. One tribe especially, the Canichanas, from the former Mission of San Pedro at the Mamore, think roast caiman the finest eating in the world; while others, the Cayuabas from Exaltation, and the Mojos, from Trinidad, whose palates are somewhat more refined, prefer beef, fish, or turtle to the musk-exhaling saurian. Notably the turtles, Avhich arc not found on the Guapore and Mamore (they are not met with above the rapids of the Madeira) are prized by them, though tve grew rather tired of them, and no wonder. On the lower Madeira, at our fires, there was almost daily going on the cooking of turtles, of all sizes, from the full-grown one of a yard in length to the smallest of the size of a hand; and in every variety of preparation toowhole, and chopped tip as for soup; stewed; and roasted in their own shell or on the spit.

KSC-97EC-1067 - Cassini's RTGs undergo verification testing in the PHSF  

Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) engineers examine the interface
surface on the Cassini spacecraft prior to installation of the third
radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG). The other two RTGs, at
left, already are installed on Cassini. The three RTGs will be used to
power Cassini on its mission to the Saturnian system. They are
undergoing mechanical and electrical verification testing in the
Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility. RTGs use heat from the natural
decay of plutonium to generate electric power. The generators enable
spacecraft to operate far from the Sun where solar power systems are
not feasible. The Cassini mission is scheduled for an Oct. 6 launch
aboard a Titan IVB/Centaur expendable launch vehicle. Cassini is built
and managed for NASA by JPL.

Your very humble and very obedient servant, The Due de Mirepoix
The fort the English had previously demanded to be demolished by reciprocity with Oswego, is not Frontenac, but the one marked Toronto on their maps. Regarding the country between Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Great Lakes, the English do not claim the freedom to go there, still less to make settlements. They ask that freedom for their Indians, as also that they may come to sell their furs to the English or the French without hindrance or molestation.1

Subject:   NII 

As Vice-Chair of a community and civic network, the Northfield 
Free-Net in Northfield, MN, I'm writing in support of Apple's 
petition for an unlicensed NII band. This petition's 
spectrum-sharing approach (rather than the centralization and 
control of bandwidth by the telephony interests) would greatly 
benefit privately funded rural area networks like our own. The 
existing situation is, effectively, regressive in that rural 
communities must pay much higher rates (due to long-distance 
charges, lack of local service providers, etc.) to enjoy the 
same access to the much-vaunted Information Superhighway taken 
for granted by those in metropolitan areas.

I urge the FCC to approve this petition, and thereby encourage 
the full development of a 21st-century Jeffersonian democracy.

word, the scene would have stood out very vividly before my mental vision. He showed the hootz grubbing among mossy logs and flirting the salmon out of a swift mountain stream; then Snook came in sight, creeping stealthily through the forest, a flintlock musket in one hand, his spear in the other. From that point the story grew more animated and the gestures more rapid to the climax. I can best tell it in the present tense:
The bear hears a stick snap and catches a faint human odor; he stands up on his hind feet to investigate. His lips are drawn back from his big teeth, and. he snarls a question.
The man dodges behind a tree; creeps closercautiously flits from tree to treemoves slowly out from a sheltering trunksinks on one kneeraises his gunaims. "Bang!" from the gun,"wah-a-ah-gr-r-r!" from the bear. The bear whirls round and round, biting his wound; then he charges straight for the man, his teeth champing, his jaws slavering.
The man throws away the gun and takes his spear in both hands. He steps boldly out in the open and stands still, his left foot
QUESTION:
Can you please answer me the following question as precisely as 
possible: Is the NASA's mission to the planet Mars an utopian project 
or an essential scientifc research program for a better understanding 
of the universe?

ANSWER from Rich Hogen on March 13, 2000:
It's hard to imagine that anyone could think NASA's exploration of Mars is
anything BUT a serious scientific research program essential for a better
understanding of the universe.  Of all the planets, including Venus, Mars
today is most similar to Earth.  We need to understand the details of how it
"died".  The fact that Mars does not have the erosional processes active on
Earth means it is easier to learn some essential information about "planets
like ours" on Mars than on Earth, where almost everything on the surface is
very young.  But that's less important than other factors.  We still have a
long way to go to understand Earth's complex interdependent systems (carbon
cycle, coupling to the Sun, coupling to ice ages and albedo changes,
coupling to life), and comparative planetology with Mars continues to
increase our understanding in these areas.  There's good reason to believe
that Mars once had surface conditions similar to conditions Earth
experienced long ago, including water which appears to remain on Mars frozen
within the crust.  This means there really is a chance that Mars had life in
the past and may still have life and/or fossil remains of earlier life.  For
these reasons and more Mars is an extremely valuable place of study in
humankind's quest for understanding of its place, its past and its future in
this universe.

Venus is also similar to Earth at fundamental levels, but there are several
reasons it seems Mars is a better target for research.  Venus is so
inhospitable a place that exploring that planet is enormously more difficult
than exploring Mars (landers on Venus are crushed and melted after only a
few hours by the thick, heavy and caustic atmosphere and the high
temperature at the surface).  And Venus suffers from the opposite surface
condition with respect to erosion.  The thick atmosphere of Venus and its
catastrophic crustal overturn events (mechanism for releasing heat of
formation) with active surface interactions mean there is little on the
surface of Venus, if anything, remaining from long ago.

Not only a source of information regarding planets like ours, Mars as a
place, being a potentially livable world, also represents "the next valley",
a place where human beings can go to live and work.  In my opinion, shared
by many others, It has been a vital, critical part of human civilization to
be able to test new ideas in new places.  It has also been vital for the
spread of life to be able to fill new niches.  Mars is the next niche for
life, and many humans believe we should spread life to Mars.  At the
individual level, in my opinion exploration helps in the development of
wisdom and intellect; the alternative is stagnation which breeds
protectionism, etc.

You decide.
ENUMERATION OF ZOOPLANKTON SAMPLES: EFFECTS OF MESH SIZE

      Zooplankton are critical components of many aquatic ecosystems, linking primary 
production, microbial, and detrital resources to higher trophic levels.  They form a critical 
food source for young of the year fishes of many species.   Zooplankton support large 
biomasses of recreationally, commercially, and ecologically important zooplanktivorous 
fish such as bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus), bigmouth buffalo (Ictiobus cyprinellus), 
gizzard shad (Dorsoma cepedianum), and invasive bighead and silver carp (Aristichthys 
nobilis, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix).  As part of the United States Environmental 
Protection Agencys (USEPA) Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program 
(EMAP), 56 zooplankton samples were collected from the Upper Mississippi River 
during the summer of 2004.  We divided zooplankton into two major groups: 
microzooplankton, which includes rotifers and copepod nauplii, and macrozooplankton, 
which includes cladocerans, adult, and juvenile copepods. Rotifers are links to both the 
primary production and to microbial and detrital resources, and tend to dominate the 
zooplankton communities in great rivers.  Crustacean zooplankton (copepods and 
cladocerans) are more directly linked to primary production.  Separate sampling 
procedures were used for the two groups: 18 L of water filtered through a 20 ?m mesh for 
microzooplankton and 180 L of water filtered through a 63 ?m mesh for 
macrozooplankton.  Microzooplankton were enumerated and identified using a 
compound microscope and Sedgewick-Rafter cells.  Macrozooplankton were enumerated 
and identified using a dissecting scope and a Ward-Whipple counting wheel.  Both 
groups of zooplankton were counted in all samples.  Our analysis strongly supports our 
methodological decisions.  These results suggest that the majority of zooplankton studies 
grossly underestimate the abundance of rotifers, possibly by 2-3 orders of magnitude.  
Many studies of zooplankton community structure and the diet of zooplanktivorous fishes 
are strongly biased in favor of crustaceans relative to rotifers.

STS-97 MISSION CONTROL CENTER STATUS REPORT #16

The International Space Station recorded another milestone today 
&ndash; the arrival of its first houseguests.

The crew of the Space Shuttle Endeavour and the station&rsquo;s 
Expedition 1 crew opened the hatches of their respective spacecraft 
at 8:36 a.m. CST Friday. Station Commander Bill Shepherd, Pilot Yuri 
Gidzenko and Flight Engineer Sergei Krikalev shook hands with their 
first station guests in 38 days -- STS-97 Commander Brent Jett, Pilot 
Mike Bloomfield and Mission Specialists Marc Garneau, Carlos Noriega 
and Joe Tanner.

The meeting was the first face-to-face contact between the crews, even 
though their spacecraft have been docked together since last 
Saturday, orbiting the planet at an altitude of 230 statute miles. At 
least one hatch remained closed at all times to maintain different 
atmospheric pressures so that the shuttle crew could conduct three 
spacewalks and succeed in its primary mission objectives, the 
delivery, installation and activation of the first U.S. solar power 
system for the International Space Station.

The new solar arrays are working well, converting the Sun&rsquo;s rays 
into electricity and providing an average of 13 kilowatts of 
additional energy for use by the space station, supplementing the 
power supplied by solar arrays on the Russian Zarya and Zvezda 
modules. Other station systems, including a carbon-dioxide removal 
system and an air conditioner that failed earlier in the week but 
were repaired by the station crew, are working well.

After a short welcoming ceremony and safety briefing, the eight 
spacefarers got right to work conducting joint activities including 
structural tests of the station and its solar arrays, transfer of 
equipment, supplies and refuse back and forth between their two 
spacecraft and checking out a television camera cable that will help 
the next shuttle crew deliver and install the station&rsquo;s first 
laboratory module, Destiny.

A joint crew news conference is scheduled for 3:57 p.m. CST today.

The space station crew is scheduled to go to bed about 6 p.m. CST, and 
the shuttle crew a little later about 10 p.m.

The next STS-97 status report will be issued Friday evening.

From David Alexander
September 4, 2003
Hello All,
In response to the phone meeting today, as Joseph suggested, I'm putting
down some ideas to start an email discussion.  I think David's paper is
one of the most comprehensive attempts at a definition of dataset that
speaks to an application developer who wants to design a piece of
software that uses datasets.  I hope I'm not being to bold to suggest
some semantic changes (and maybe one new idea) to the defining
properties of a dataset to spark more off-line discussion.  I wanted to
(1) see if I understand what David Adams' definition of a dataset is,
and (2) hopefully clarify it for others.
***********************************************
DEFINING PROPERTIES OF A DATASET:
If an object has all the following 4 properties
(the last two are optional), then the object is
defined as a dataset.
0. Unique Identifier
1. Data Description
2. Dataset Reference
3. Essential Provenance
4. Additional Production Details (Optional)
5. Additional Metadata (Optional)
*********************************************
Where the changes are:
0. Same as David's except uniqueness emphasized.
1. "Content" alone was too confusing with the data itself.  In fact,
David refers to "content description" in the Mapping paragraph, so I
like "Data Description" here to distinguish it as indeed being
meta-data.
2. Here I merged of David's "2. Location" and "3. Mapping" into "Dataset
Reference".  What I mean by "Dataset Reference" is either a data
location map (which is the combining of David's two ideas) or a catalog
reference (which is the new idea).  There are two lines of reasoning
here.  The first is that if the mapping is non-trivial, then the
location list by itself isn't very useful for getting particular records
or sub-sets of data from the dataset, so why not combine them into a
"location map", which will always include the locations in addition to
the more complicated mapping.  The second line of reasoning is that for
datasets that are indeed virtual and do not physically exist before
requests there *is* no location and one can only get the dataset from a
catalog (or some other generating engine I suppose).  Reference is then
a generic term to mean either "location map" or "catalog", but the main
point is that with the reference you can actually get the data.
3. Just added the word "essential" to distinguish it more from what
David was calling "History".
4. Emphasized here that the history is really about production details.
Any other types of information can go in the catch-all metadata.
5. Here "Additional" reminds us that all the properties are really
meta-data, but there are other types of meta-data to include.
Is this any better?  Does it make sense?

              VIII    An Experimental Investigation of
                    Automatic Hierarchy Generation

                G. Blomgren, A. Goodman, and L. Kelly

Abstract

     In automatic or semi-automatic document retrieval systems, a hierarchical

arrangement of concepts or terms affords modification of a query in three

~~ys :  generalization, specialization, or expansion with synonyms.

Hierarchies are u~ually constructed manually.   A method for automatic

~eneration of hierarchies is proposed, and experimental results are presented.

1.  Introduction

     An automatic or semi-automatic document retrieval system usually

includes a thesaurus of concepts or terms which is used to expand queries.

For a given query, thesaurus entries which are similar to terms in the query

are added to its vector of terms.  The search for relevant dcc~nnents then

continues with the expanded query [5,6,7].

     Some systems, such as SM~RT at Harvard, employ a hierarchical arrange-

ment of concepts or terms to modify queries.[3]   Such an arrangement connects

concepts by `tparent-sont1 and t1brother-brother1 relationships.   A parent

concept is more general than its sons; brothers share an equivalent ranking.

Thus a query may be generalized by addin~ to its vector of terms the

parents of those terms; contrariwise, a query may be specialized by adding

the sons of its terms.  The addition of brothers represents inclusion of

similar terms. [5]
TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  515
SUBJECT: GCN resumes full operations
DATE:    00/01/03 23:30:06 GMT
FROM:    Scott Barthelmy at NASA/GSFC  <scott@lheamail.gsfc.nasa.gov>

As some of you may have already noticed, GCN operations have resumed
after the outage over the end-of-year period (the outage was announced
in a notice that was distributed 21 Dec 99). 

GCN NOTICES:
The GCN Notice system (BATSE, XTE, SAX, etc burst location Notices)
went off-line at UT midnight 30 Dec 1999 and resumed full operations
about 21:00 UT 02 Jan 2000 (about 2.9 days lost).  The real-time BATSE
telemetry data was also down during this interval, so I don't know how many
or the significance of any bursts during that interval (that information
will be availabe a few days from now when the BATSE team processes their 
normal data deliveries).  And since the network connections in/out of Gaddard
were also down, the GCN system could not receive any positions from
the other contributing spacecraft -- but presumably their operations were
also off-line during this interval.  There was one minor Y2K non-compliance
which was fixed within 2 hours.

GCN CIRCULARS:
The GCN Circular machine went off-line about 20:00 UT 30 Dec 1999
and resumed operations about 15:00 UT 03 Jan 2000.  During this period
it could not receive submissions, nor make any distributions of Circulars.
As many of you noticed, there was a Y2K problem with the year
in the DATE field for Circulars 513 and 514.  The system administrators
that maintain the Circulars computer (lheawww.gsfc.nasa.gov) thought
it was Y2K compliant.  I have installed a work-around in the Circulars
procesing program which handles this non-compliance.  I have also adjusted
the year in the dates of the two Circulars in the archived copies.

MISC:
There has been a significant increase in the number of bounced email
messages from both the Notices and the Circulars.  Presumably this is due
to machines, routers, and networks being off-line around the world.
If you think you may have missed a Notice/Circular, then please check
with the archived version in the GCN web site (http://gcn.gsfc.nasa.gov/gcn).

My apologies to those who receive this twice.  I am sending it to all
active sites in the Notices "sites.cfg" file and to all receivers on
the Circulars distribution list.  The overlap factor is about 0.6.


Best wishes to everyone in this new year/decade/century/millennium,
Scott

UNREADINESS AT SEA               59
greater clearness, to the outbreak of hostilities, and on the 6th Mr. Kurino had made a communication which left no possible doubt of the intentions of Japan. This communication was frank and explicit; it was published in the Official Messenger on the 6th, and the Japanese Minister then withdrew. The only complaint open to Russia to make is that Mr. Kurino did not name the point of attack and the precise hour at which operations would begin. This is a convention of peace manoeuvres, but it is not war. Still nothing was changed, no orders were sent, and, with an insouciance as fatal as incomprehensible, the Colossus waited to be struck. It had not long to wait. The seizure of the initiative by Japan is a matter that more directly concerns the statesman than the fighting services. It is the readiness of Japan and the decision to take rapid action that stands out as an example for us to follow.
A surprise in operations on land can rarely, if ever, affect more than a part of the army attacked, since national armies extend over a large expanse of country, and the final result of the campaign is not necessarily much affected by the fate of a fraction of the army of operations. At sea things are different, and five minutes of negligence before hostilities commence can make all the difference between the gain or loss of the command of the sea. A few days ago the Russian Pacific squadron, containing most of the best Russian battleships afloat, although slightly weaker than its enemy, in the proportion of eleven to fourteen, could still aspire, by audacity and hard fighting, to win a great victory or to perish gloriously. Now it is partially a wreck, its best ships lying crippled upon the mud and rocks of Port Arthur, others sunk, burnt, damaged, or destroyed. It has not won a victory, it has not sunk an enemy's ship, and, the Variag apart, it has not perished gloriously.
Appalling is the result and far-reaching the effect of unreadiness at sea. " He who has only land troops fights only with one hand; he who has a fleet as well

Subject: Advertising for drugs

Dear Sir:

I strongly protest the allowance for companies to advertise prescription
drugs on TV.

First of all, the reason that they are prescription is to be sure that
doctors evaluate the drugs based on individual needs and individual medical
situation.  
Secondly, in these times of expensive drugs, it is unconscionable that the
cost of drugs would be further increased by expensive advertising which is
very simplistic and downplays possible side effects.

I urge you to control this advertising which is not in the public interest

RE:     SEC Rules
     
Dear Mr. Katz:
     
I wish to make my opinion known to you and my Congresspeople regarding File 
No. S7-25-97 . As an individual investor in large, medium and small 
companies and a strong proponent of shareholder activism, I am outraged at 
the proposed new SEC rules on shareholder resolutions which would 
effectively disenfranchise citizens such as myself and millions of others. 
     
As an active member of my community (Lansdowne, Pennsylvania) I believe 
that people receive the strength to remain active citizens when they feel 
the larger system is open to, at least engaging in dialogue with 
stakeholders who have concerns. In this democracy of ours, I even expect 
the larger system to provide vehicles for free and fair expression of 
ideas. I am planning to educate my church community about the power of 
social investing viz a viz shareholder activism and to ask the church to 
review its holdings based on social responsibility. As a Democrat, I rely 
on my leadership to insure that these vehicles are consistently available 
and that I can pursue such objectives in the smaller and larger communities 
with integrity and freedom.
     
Let me provide a basic overview of the situation, in case you are not aware 
of it. The current SEC rules allow small investors to file resolutions for 
consideration at the company's annual meeting. This exercise of shareholder 
rights has been used very effectively in numerous situations to promote 
justice and quality of present and future life. The most prominent example 
is the abolishment of apartheid in South Africa, due to some degree on the 
withdrawal of American and European business interests from the area. This 
action occurred as a result of shareholders' resolutions.
     
Under the proposed new rules, corporate management would have sweeping new 
power to exclude resolutions by small investors. This would, in effect, 
silence a substantial population of citizens- a completely unacceptable 
situation in a democracy. Had these rules been in effect all along, many 
unjust actions in the world would still be in practice, e.g. discrimination 
in the workplace, lack of environmental protections, forced labor in China, 
financial support of tyrannical military governments in Burma and Nigeria 
and unfair employment in Northern Ireland.
     
Please call SEC chairman Arthur Levitt today to express your vote of 
opposition to the new SEC rules. I would appreciate a response from you, as 
well. Thank you for your serious consideration of this matter which 
endangers basic democratic principles. 
     
Sincerely,
