111003 - We need 20 more sets of the Communication Metrics report from the U.S.

111005 - ref SDS 1 line 177, and major edit was on 970518, ref SDS 3 line 81.
111006 -
111007 - I want to correct some minor grammatical errors, and also move the
111008 - text on people getting mixed up to the first paragraph from the
111009 - evluation section.

111018 - "Risk Management" ref OF 2 line 68, and added another reference in
111019 - para 2 on page 1, ref OF 2 line 87, to help people grasp the class of
111020 - product and service product by Communication Metrics.  Originally,
111021 - this was only in para 1 of the conclusion, ref OF 2 line 532.
111022 -
111023 - Added the explanation of people getting mixed up without realizing it

111026 - 1 line 503.  Added "haste makes waste" ref OF 2 line 86, to show the
111027 - simplicity of the risk that Communication Metrics solves.

111029 - Added the correlation between "expediting" and mistakes, ref OF
111030 - 2 line 84, to improve explanation of "intelligence in para 2 on page
111031 - 1, which improves work at ref SDS 3 line 81.  It is discussed in a
111032 - recent letter to Max Wideman, ref DIP 1 line 72, issued at ref SDS 7

111051 -
111052 -
111053 - Eliminated in para 1 on page 1 the explanation that Communication
111054 - Metrics is subtle and counter-intuitive, since this may alert the
111055 - reader to be confused, and so it is distracting.  Wanted to save
111056 - space anyway.
111057 -
111058 - Tried to make para 2 on page 1 easier to read by shortening sentences.
111059 -
