Tonight, the day after the "to the Moon via 900 Service" Press Conference, the local district attorney and grand jury have decided to have a chat with these "entrepenuers". They claim they're on the up and up, TASS (the Soviet press agency) says they've never heard of these guys and the DA says it sounds like an illegal lottery to him.

However, the investigation continues despite the new Soviet affirmation of the deal with these guys. A grand jury is looking into it.

Apparently everything is okay. PAT]
