Here is what I got from someone who called Paul Berkowitz: - Ashwini I talked to Paul Berkowitz this morning. From his voice and response, he must have received at least 100 calls by that time. He is the aid to Congressman Gilman. Paul basically is a good guy. Supporter of India (because of our support for Dalai Lama). He will try to argue following: 1) are you wiling to take responsibility if this bill does not pass ANS: Flatly say YES. 2) someone is trying to use you. ANS: I don't care who is using me. I want the right thing. I also heard that Gilman was of STRONG NO opinion but as of this evening he has said SOFT YES. The campaign is making a difference. Apperently, Congressman Gilman had already convienced Indian diplomats that this is the best they could do. The insider has indicated that if congressman Gilman does turn around, we should have equal number of people calling him to praise him on his decission. -- Gaurang R. Desai
