More than one week ago, I read a disparaging report by Mr. Walsh that took contracting officers in Iraq to task, particularly those of the Air Force. As a logistics officer many years ago in the Air Force, I cringe when accounts like that are published because I know that, despite a fair amount of bureaucracy, the Air Force takes pride in the delivery and accountability of its inventories. However, to brighten up Mr. Walsh, I would recommend he seek out Navy Commander Gary Ulrich who is a supply/contracting officer in Iraq, for the third time, right now. When I last talked with Gary, my son's former scoutmaster, he told me that he had personally issued funds to build 200 new schools. He also personally oversaw the transport of a youth from Iraq to Dallas for medical treatment at Shriners Hospital for Children.

p>Please pass the word that contracting through Commander Ulrich is in good hands. The story is worth telling. br> -- John R. Tannehill br> Dallas, Texas /p> p> CAJUN CATASTROPHE br> RE: George Neumayr's A Civilizational Vacuum : /p>
