Well, I'm not sure.... but I seem to recall that at *some* meeting 
somewhere, we were told to peddle the SCANS *without* the name because it 
was done under a different administration.  No one disagrees with the 
value of the research; it's the political nature of the study that may 
have kept it from more publicity.
