I suspect that while the Congressman is being given a privilege that is not for sale, he is still being given it BECAUSE he is a Congressman; it is still a favor that is being done him because of his role and not a right that adheres to him as a private individual. ======================================================================== Judith Hopkins VOICE: (716) 645-2796 Technical Services Research and Analysis Officer Central Technical Services FAX: (716) 645-5955 Lockwood Library Building State University of New York at Buffalo BITNET: ulcjh@ubvm (OR, ubvms) Buffalo, NY 14260-2200 INTERNET: [log in to unmask] Listowner: AUTOCAT@UBVM or [log in to unmask] ========================================================================
