[Lnc-business] A couple of comments regarding the motion currently before us

[James Lark]

Dear colleagues:

     A few moments ago I resent the message enclosed below that was 
initially sent to the list from my University of Virginia account. I 
hope you find the message worthy of your attention.

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.

     Take care,
     Jim
