Assistance on Petition

Thanks to Craig Criddle, Hilarie Engle, Kathl Whitacre and Gene Bray for tracking down references and other kinds of assistance in wrestling with scientific and agency information. Jacob Smith Todd Tucci and Miriam Austin provided helpful comments along the way. When I began this effort, I estimated it would take 2 months and entail around 100 pages. Instead, because of the overwhelming threats faced by the pygmy rabbit, this petition ended up being a 4 month immersion – during which phone calls have gone unanswered and many bad agency projects unappealed.
