I have it on reasonably good authority that there is a medical supply house in Buffalo, New York that manufactures medical field supplies on contract to the army which has recently been given a priority order for the government to outfit several thousand field medical hospitals (M*A*S*H units, if you will.) Christmas vacations and normal holidays have been cancelled in order to get the first batch of these out by the first of the year. Two more batches are due out in February and in March. Rumors are that this unprece- dented order is to be used in Nicaragua. (But then, you know how rumors are....) Byron Howes UNC - Chapel Hill decvax!duke!mcnc!unc!bch
