[CAUT] bid savvy

[Fred Sturm]

I'm probably confusing the two surveys. I was probably sending in  
comments on the Economic Affairs survey around the same time as the  
other one came by, so they became related in my mind. Memory is a  
malleable thing <G>. My impression had been that the Economic Affairs  
survey was ready to roll, and that Barb Cassaday was asking for any  
last minute input before proceeding. But who knows what may have come  
up in the meanwhile to derail it.
