Re: RAM shipment

["Don_Jordan" <Don_Jordan@fpm.uchicago.edu>]

There is obviously a conflict between the two regs, 173.4 and 173.422,
which, I suppose, is what judges get paid to resolve.  One might argue that
173.422 only applies to limited quantity packages which _do not_ also meet
the standards of 173.4.  

Thanks for pointing 173.4 out to me.  I only look at it when I have to ship
a package that also contains
an additional hazard.
