Fascinating!! I know that I had only stopped to consider the ramifications
inside and outside the beltway, but had not thought about US agencies in
other countries. In fact, it was only this morning on the radio that I heard
that the only govt. employees getting paid right now are the soldiers in
Bosnia. Thanks for the wake-up call from across the Atlantic. And please,
keep us posted.
