Thirty-three minutes is more like it." Observers at the press conference indicated that the senior official's remarks were intended to be overheard by those standing nearby, who included White House officials, reporters, and a troupe of girl scouts from Lundane, Illinois. =-=-=-=-=-= Robert Hayden rhayden@means.net IP Network Administrator (612) 230-4416 MEANS Telcom
