Ms. Gough,
Thank you for your reply and I apologize for not being more concise with my question. In effort to
best clarify this specific question, along with the others I sent you, it's probably advantageous to share
some information I'm attempting to verify, which was provided to me by non-government sources. If
accurate, it could potentially offer an explanation for some of the confusion or contention you've
inherited and had to deal with on this particular topic.
