Rarebird and All, Thanks for all the support and efforts to kill this tax loaded Bill. The letters, emails, and phone calls to your congressmen surely must have turned the tide. I know we have been working hard out here in the field to defeat this thing, and maintain focus on building sales and share; we are winning that battle too. I feel much better tonight, I think I may have a Marlboro and a Miller Lite.<ggg> Good luck to the longs, Duncan

Rare: Delighted with the news...let Clinton wine all he wants...the man has no credibility. Would the next step be to somehow get back to the original agreement with the atts-generals from last June?? Its interesting that Gov. Chiles here in Fla. went on record as also poo-pooing this bill because the state would lose alot of the money also...and I kinda think most govs and grassroot types were secretly against this bill also. The beltway boys just don't get it. Amazingly most of my MD collegues were also against the bill..since we all objected to lawyers getting rewarded for supposedly defending people choosing to use tobacco when anyone with a brain on his head knew the stuff was carcinogenic. MY mother quit when the surgeons general report came out in the early 60's and she's pissed that those stupid enough to keep smoking are now getting "rewarded". Interesting!!! At any rate I bought back the june 37.5 puts today and made a nice profit, altho I expect the stock to top 40 shortly. Good luck.
