NOTE:  I have been put under a certain amount of pressure to limit
communications about certain "sensitive" areas of technology.  My management
is aware I read this news group due to a minor escapade two years ago.
They have encouraged my participation (within limits of work).

You may have seen news recently in newspapers regarding this new perspective
in NASA.  Among other things, which I can no longer answer questions on:
thermal protection, certain aspects of computer technology, and so forth.

In the past, I have answered mail asking questions not posed before this
news group.  I can continue to do this within the new bounds I have been given.
My personal opinion is for the free circulation of research information, but
my management has growing concern about government rules regarding the flow
of information to political and economic competitors to the US: namely
the Soviet Union and Japan.
