incidentally i suspect Kathy Smith is the person responsible.  it's a pity
she does not know she's the reponsible representative of the usg.  i call
this behaviour - civil service dementia.

Ms. Smith.  How long does it take for you to answer my question?  This is
something you should know.

Who is the name of the civil servant who's position and responsibilities
are defined by Amendment 11.

Im sure you know the name.
