I can say a couple of words about Bill Daul's note on Sensitive
classification.

My research is on the verge of getting this classification.  I have been
told that my some work is no longer for distribution outside the US.
It is undergoing further review.  My work for those not aware is under
the heading of parallel processing.  Other obvious areas are things like
AI, and other types of high technology.

There are two principal motives for the sensitive classification: 1) the
economic "threat of our neighbors (which hits me twice because of
ancestory)," and the military threat of the technology appearing in
weapons of the SU.  It is useless to argue against these people from my
position (maybe not other readers).  Research should involve the
exchange of information.  I hate the thought that I request information
from one set of people and in turn I would not be able to respond
(reciprocate) in kind.

Needless to say these are my views and NOT the views of my employer or
the US Government.
