 Supposing the congress were to appropriate $400,000,000 in seed money?  
 How practical is it to attempt to tell the congress in an OTA in some 
 general way what the expenditure of those funds would buy?
 
 To put it another way is there any conscensus out there as to exactly what 
 the R&D development agenda is an how costly it will be?
 
 I have a lot of` questions that might flow from this, but await feed back 
 as to whether this line of discussion is considered to be out of the 
 subject range of this list.
 
 If I am off subject, would welcome email to tmn!cook@uunet.uu.net  and /or 
 a request for an id on the OTA NREN conference which baring a MAJOR 
 problem should be fully operational before the end of this coming week.
