Dear Stephen: Be careful in transposing Remediation Revenue down to income. Remember, the gross margins on the upfront work including Data Base "Hits" has a much higher gross margin than the "Labor" work involved in Remediation--although even those margins I believe are greater than past Core work. Finally, remember that as to "Labor" work we are limited to the total number of Professional Employees plus whatever they are able to get in "Contract" workers. Since I believe they are working off of a significant backlog, whether it be recorded or unrecorded (much of the potential remediation work is not recorded in backlog as it can only be so once a contract is let to TAVA) I merely presume that TAVA working to full capacity and thus need to know on a qtly basis the number of professional employees plus contract workers. One of the questions I hope will be answered either at the annual meeting or during the qtly CC is the TOTAL BACKLOG and TOTAL Professional Employees. Since Mangan is so important employee wise I need an update to the figures. JDN
