Hi Ed: cc: A1D08 committee members. I didn't receive any e-mails from either you or TRB regarding the papers you've asked me to review. I just "logged in" to the miracd web site, and, lo and behold, I can see the papers you've asked for reviews. Others may have the same problem, and I do recall that this was a problem (feature?) from last year, as well.... Chuck *********************************************** Charles L.

If the load is too much let me know or better yet, think about finding other reviewers. We can certainly go outside the committee for reviews. They have to be added to the software but that is something that I do on my end. I will keep you all posted on our progress as we work though this. -- Ed Christopher Metropolitan Activities Midwest Resource Center Federal Highway Administration 19900 Governors Drive Olympia Fields, Illinois 60461 708-283-3534 (V) 708-283-3501 (F)
