-----Original Message-----
He has communicated with OSD and my employer castigating my campaign for
consensus that considers the consequences.  His communication is all
emotion and no substance.  He conjectures great damage to national
security and inevitable disaster if the leap second is retained.   He
includes Wayne Hanson, Wayne White, and Ron Beard in his thrust to kill
difference of opinion.   He claims that only a "countable few" disagree
with the recommendation.  He cites Steve Allen, John Seago, and Ken
Seidelmann among the countable few.   I hesitate to accuse Bob of
slander, but draw your own conclusions.   What course of action would
the group recommend?   Abandon the crusade to save myself?
