[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Folks,

Please excuse the cross posting, and also please excuse possible 
duplications, but I know some of you probably won't hear about this, 
and it might be of interest, especially to smaller vendor companies 
with associates in D.C. who might benefit from knowing about this 
series of conference events.

Cioao,
Rex
