[CRNMC] [CRNMC-media] my last version of the press release

[doug mckenty]

Ed,

Are you planning on sending this out as well?  I haven't seen any real
objections and have no problems with that.  Did you get the media contact
list emailed earlier?  We also have plans to transcribe into Spanish.  Ali
said she would help with that if you can get in contact with her.

I will get the Meeting Wizard out today so we can find a time next week for
a conference call next week to discuss messaging for the rest of the
campaign.

Doug
