He certainly is most deserving of the award. As it happens, the award comes when I was about to send you a posting expressing my respect for the leadership he is already showing at the NRO. Their response to the NAv6 survey (<a href="http://nro.net/news/nav6-survey-response.html">http://nro.net/news/nav6-survey-response.html</a>) was technologically sober, and very level-headed. Just the leadership we need. Adiel, congrats, and may this be one of many more glorious awards to come in the future! Keep up the great work.<br><br>Katim<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family:
