Howdy Jed.
SBIR stands for Small Business Innovative Research programs of the US govt.
Don't go there.. pure politics.
My suggestion is to be both bold and intrusive in your letter. Don't ask..
tell him.. it's time to quit jacking around ( in a nice way of course) and
get started on a proven alternate source instead of waiting for the paid pet
scientists to make their next excuse.
Bold means bold..
Once, my old manager asked me why we weren't selling anything to customer x.
I explained I called on him for ages and he never bought anything.. my boss
told me to go over and cuss him out.. when I asked why.. he said .. try it..
nothing else you do works.

Just lurking here - would it be worth mentioning setting up SBIR
grants for LENR research to Sen. Obama?
I have no idea what an SBIR grant is.
I do not think we mention anything but the most pertinent
information. The shorter we can make this, the better. I am thinking
maybe we should go for something like a haiku version, or something
from the original Frankenstein movie:
Smoke, good.
Fire, go-o-o-o-d.
FUSION good. Me want fusion.
The technical version concludes:
Tritium and helium good. No penetrating radiation, GOOD.
Also - any abbreviations or acronyms should be spelled out - a lot
of people are not knowledgeable on these things.
Good point.
Someone else pointed out to me that this is "a tad presumptuous"
because Obama has not, technically, won yet. That's true. But I
wasn't planning to upload this until tomorrow at the earliest, and we
can change the heading to "McCain" if necessary.
