Another great letter, Jim! I'm delighted that you are using your role
as science teacher of LAS students to promote SI.
Did you send the original by e-mail, by USPS, or both?
My congressman has not responded to my most recent e-mail (w/o signature)
so I am considering e-mail followed by a FAX copy (with my *signature*) to
improve chances of consideration.
Gene.
