The statement was properly attributed to you. If you had made your report
to the membership I would have the whole thing, as it is I must rely on an
incomplete report.

That was always obvious. I would not expect that AMSAT even *could *be
doing excellently when we would not be getting the people walking up to the
booth at Hamvention, etc. And I would encourage members to pony up! I just
renewed my membership through 2022, and put $120 in the President's Circle.

But Robert, if I understand the Salary Protection Program, AMSAT is now
carrying debt, and this will increase for a while. I trust you to do
everything necessary to get the government to forgive that debt, and to
impress on the board that this is one thing that they just can't allow to
fail.

    Thanks
