	--I need to hear rational explanations of what might be wrong with

my treatment, very preferably with concrete hypothetical examples.

	Frankly, I am worried by the fact that the NCRP Committee has

never discussed with me criticisms of my work, and never given me the

opportunity to respond to such criticisms.

	In my experience, differences are resolved by back and forth

discussion, with each side understanding and considering what the other

side is saying.
