  Ben,
     I briefly discussed this with Tim a few minutes ago.
  With IDAG coming up, it is probably best not on to use Gabi and Myles.
  I also suggested that Mike Wallace might be slow - as Myles would
  have been. Peter S might not be right for the IDAG reason and he
  does work for the HC - where Peter T does.
     If Jim is back working he would be good. So would Fu. If Tim can
  just persuade them to do it - and quickly.

     I did suggest Kevin - he would do it quickly - but it may be a read rag
  to a bull with John Christy on the other paper.

    Glad to see you've gone down his route!

   Have a good weekend!

  Ruth says hello!

  Cheers
  Phil
