not plan to pursue this issue in any fashion because it is clearly not
PASO business - but it surely is DOE business and someone must care.
So, in summary, I believe I have a clear and unavoidable obligation to

do something about this situation. I believe "that something” is that
NV should bring this matter to the personal attention of the ASEV and

force the issue one way or the other.

It may be that the only solution

is to let BNL charter their own vessel and be entirely responsible for
the medical program. fhe only thing that is entirely unacceptable is
continuation of the present arrangement.
