Dear Gina and Peter,

I note that the originals of the documents relevant to Gina's motion ( USO56-6) have not been posted on the Senate Web site. This omission reminds me that they should be AND that Senators should receive electronic copies (or functional URL's) prior to the meeting. I understand that "paper-saving" hard copies will be available at the meeting, but the Senators will need time to get up to speed.

Many thanks, Frank
