A initial brief review of these reports seems to indicate that contain a substantial amount of very important information that needs to be distributed to as large a reader base as possible as fast as possible. I would suggest that the current attempts to sell this information even at the very low cost of its current offering will severely limit its distribution and potential positive impact towards problem resolution. These 3 very important reports should be offered free on line to any interested party with public service media coverage to promote a national readership at all levels of our society. Fred Martin
