Dear Brad,
<p>Yeah, I realize that they report a budget of only $300 million US a
year. Mere chump change for guys like me and you.:o) Also,
they only have about 2000 people on the payroll. So hey, <b>
when they are co-ordinating deals like the MAI, my heart bleeds for them.</b>
<p>Want a laugh? The OCED has an un-funded pension liability of about
$800million US. How about that for leverage. Behave or no pension.
<p>Your, sometimes email pal,
<br>Tom L.
