Don't panic quite yet, the OTA is probably the one government organization least likely to screw this up. They've come out with some astoundingly good reports in the past, on the social impact of technology, and they're quite smug about their resistance to political pressure. You may get the chance to panic when Congress completely ignores the OTA study and passes whatever laws they damn well fee like anyway, as they usually do. --- Tom Fitzgerald Wang Labs fitz@wang.com 1-508-967-5278 Lowell MA, USA ...!uunet!wang!fitz
