David, I have trouble getting on Platform site saaaaaaaand my eyes
are lousy. I am worried about Foriegn Policy submissions especially
"Peace in the Middleast" Is any of this emimating indirectly from
Justine and circumventing her reporting responsibility/sources to
CTGP of what shes doing and what States shes "using". FYI Justine is
on the "Peace" Nat com. She tried to help block Mike and Richards
being on this com. At convention she sat in front of Mike at this Com
and refused to aknowledge him when he stuck out his hand to shake and
said hello to her! How two faced can a person be? A..... Please reply
with jist of contents of these submissions if we need to be
concerned?
