   Mr Malamud:
Thank you for your timely response.  The reason for my Objection is I am the
originator of the idea, expression and explanation for using electronic
medium to provide public policy and issues to the general public via
computer and/or television, has data base for reading gov. propsals ie.
Congressional Record,etc., provides data base for researching  the
policy/issue, tabulates results  of votes/surveys, makes those results
public via media and routing to proper agency/Representative and is
interactive whereby the general public can communicate directly ie
e-mail/comment.  My Work Electronic Government is not predated by any other
work in the public domaine, therefore my rights are exclusive and absolute
until such time as I enter contract for permission, license or sale which I
have not done.  All others, including IMS must obtain proper contract to
prepare a derivative which I am happy to negotiate.
I hope I have made my position somewhat clearer and I will try to respond to
any other questions you might have.
Again thank you for your timely response and please keep me informed.
Sincerely,
Linda Half-Day, Owner
