by the NSA as fund raisers. The discussion included the fact that tapes for the
History of the NSA were made, that they have some quality problems, but their
costs are paid and they are available for sale and do make a profit for the
NSA. On Motion duly made and seconded it was agreed that Lonna, Andy F, and

events. Mailing List: Andy F. reported that the mailing has been
