[Land-speed] DLRA and International Support

[Skip Higginbotham]

Keith,

I, for one, will be pleased to send a letter if that is what DLRA 
officials want us to do. If DLRA had provided correct information to 
Karen in the first place, and accusations of improper drilling 
written by others, supposedly involved, refuted, most all the fuss 
could have been avoided. As I see it, we now have two votes for 
helping by sending the letter Karen graciously sent to us and no 
visible DLRA request yet.

Are there offices in addition to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs 
and Reconciliation to which letters of support could be of value?

Where are you DLRA? I just don't want to inhibit efforts to keep on 
racing there. Is there anyone out there who is directly involved in 
the negotiations who wants help? If not, then we could damage their 
cause by sending unwanted letters.

Skip
