Looks like the stalling tactics have begun. I just got a phone call from "Susan Shea" from the National Security Agency. She said that to "make a better determination" she would need a copy of the diskette.
Well, this *might* be a stalling tactic, or it might just be typical bureaucratic behavior. Put yourself in the bureaucrat's place: you start working on this problem, and you decide everything looks OK for approving the request. You take the approval form to your superior for a sign-off, and she asks "How thoroughly did you examine the material?" Nobody in their right mind would want to be in this position and have to answer "Well, I didn't look at it at all. They said it was the same as this other stuff here." -- | GOOD TIME FOR MOVIE - GOING ||| Mike McNally <m5@tivoli.com> | | TAKE TWA TO CAIRO. ||| Tivoli Systems, Austin, TX: | | (actual fortune cookie) ||| "Like A Little Bit of Semi-Heaven" |
