Roger,

Please, call him yourself if you don't believe me.  202-254-0370

You can confirm that Dr. Kang refuses to list the draft which 
Colonel Daxon cited and selectivly quoted from here:
 
  http://www.vethealth.cio.med.va.gov/EESBibliog-082503.pdf

-- that link is the current bibliography of the Environmental 
Epidemiology Service which Dr. Kang heads from his departmental
home page here:  http://www.vethealth.cio.med.va.gov/Epidemiology.htm

Anyway, I got this email, clearly.  Did you check the address on 
the messages that bounced?

Sincerely,
James
