Marty:
    
    Your note confused me -- which international links are you talking
about?  Funding for links between the US and non-US countries varies from
joint funding from multiple agencies, to partial govt. funding, to links
funded entirely by the non-US entity.  [This leaves aside all those
international links which connect two non-US countries].

    And what exactly do you see the potential impact of the ANS announcement
to be upon links between the US and non-US countries.

Craig

PS: Pardon the awkward term "non-US" -- I'm just tired of using the term
"foreign" to mean any country other than the US.
