I've been called (and have called) the Federal Systems Group at Commodore.  It
is located in Reston (for the DC area...I noticed your Pentagon address) and
unfortunately the business cards I have are located at my other desk.  If you'd
like a contact number email me and I'll send it to you.  As far as I can tell
there is all of one guy dealing with Amiga sales with the remainder pushing the
various PC clones that C= makes.  Most demos get run through a local dealer
(New Age Computers, College Park MD) at least for Goddard.  Not totally
surprising since it is a bit closer than Reston ;-).

GSA pricing is close to Ed prices.  My GSA catalog is over there with the
business cards :-(.  C= has been pushing a bit and there is a 3000UX at Goddard 
and people are pretty impressed with it (or so the rep says ;-).

FYI New Age Computers has one of the nicer computer/AV setups that I've seen
for rent.  They have a 2500 w/Toaster and some nice AV gear (genlocks, TBCs,
professional level decks, etc) and rent the facility out for $50/hour.
