Max:     Thanks for the thoughtful and forthright reply. 

1. Is it polyanish to believe that a real full employment statement that says 
it is reasonable to accept some modest inflationary increase if it means jobs 
and raises for working people could be adopted by the AFL-CIO leadership and 
similar resolutions by many local unions and chapters of other organization?

2. Is the political period over where grassroot organizations and union 
chapters try to mobilize around some mass issue? 

3. If Sweeney is worth anything, why wouldn't he want to have a mass 
mobilization around Real Full Employment?  Is it foolish to think that having 
a real Labor Day next September when in every city the unions have a 
mobilization with other groups around real full employment is impossible?  

Isn't it possible for EPI to be a catalyst for some of this?
