But you, Melani, seem to be privy to the workings of UCD, being on the steering committee and all. So maybe you can get a statement from Wendel Lewis as to the current state of the situation and what's being done to get all the facts. I haven't asked him myself, yet, under the assumption that any query coming from me will be perceived as "loaded." It's no secret, of course, I'd dearly like to shoot down UCD as not being appropriate for a NIDMA in the unlikely event that such a thing moves forward. But, at the moment, considering the complications involved, it seems more important to get at who decided and/or did what. Al, just as an aside, perhaps it's a "senior moment," how you always write Lewis Wendell's name backwards. His *first* name is "Lewis." His *last* name is "Wendell." Are you thinking of Wendell Wilkie, or some other famous person from history? Anyway, this morning you wrote: In a message dated 5/22/2007 10:03:53 A.M.

Not only those from UCD's internal investigation -- which would be somewhat suspect because there's always the possibility of a cover-up with John as the scapegoat -- but from trying to research other sources as well? So I wondered if you could get at this from another source. You have often mentioned working with the Councilwoman, so I thought you might be the person to ask at her office. I don't have ANY source, since there isn't a completed UCD investigation. Karen said Lewis Wendell read a statement at a public meeting last night. I don't even know WHAT meeting - perhaps a CPN board meeting? So I sure don't have the statement - perhaps Karen has it? And while you're suggesting "withholding judgement," is it appropriate to say in the next sentence that the UCD's internal investigation "would be somewhat suspect?"
