Henry -

A sound idea, but there have always been such good reasons for "carpeting"
the Garden State with no Administration having the requisite huevos that I
doubt that your obviously well-reasoned plea will be heard. I'm afraid that
the holiness of the site where Hoffa was interred will stay the hand of our
religiously sensitive Pres,  who probably couldn't have spelled Ramadan a
couple months ago.

But by all means keep the tactical alternatives coming.

Robert
