Re: furlough

          The government furlough is hard enough to endure and one 
          would expect comments like those I have seen posted on 
          radsafe to appear on "hate" radio talk shows.
          
          The furlough is a political game, and federal workers are 
          being used as pawns.  I do not think radsafe is a forum to 
          make such comments as those that I have seen recently and 
          especially from someone as well respected (or was well 
          respected by me) as Dr. Vetter.
          
          I believe that radsafe should stick to what it does best -  
          serve as a forum for radiological information exchange, not 
          as a forum for "bashing" federal workers.  I am really ashamed 
          to be part of such a community!

 It makes a big difference in mail volume, doesn't it. Perhaps we should
 consider a proposal to permanently furlough some govt. radiation divisions.

 I will be meeting with the Texas Panhandle Chapter Feb 21 in Amarillo and
the
 North Texas Chapter Feb 22 in Dallas. Are you planning to attend one or
both
 meetings?
