Re: Monsanto

The source in question came from Mound Laboratory, which used to be
operated by Monsanto for the U.S. Department of Energy.  Monsanto was
replaced by EG&G, which in turn was replaced by Babcock and Wilcox of Ohio,
the current Mound Lab contractor.  I don't have current phone numbers, but
would venture to guess that you can get there through the DOE home page on
the web (http://www.doe.gov).
