Tim, NSF never paid any of Gordon's expenses for anything, to my knowledge at least. He made an important contribution to the NATO meeting in Moscow in 1994 by delivering a well-thought-out and constructive charge to the audience about how a bit more cooperation on everybody's part could improve Internet service for large numbers of Russians. I, as co-chair of the event, was quite satisfied that I had spent NATO's money wisely by inviting him to participate. We even fed him (along with the other participants) on NATO's tab. Even with all that, it was still a good deal for NATO (he drank much less vodka than most, BTW...). At 2:18 AM 5/26/96, Gordon Cook wrote:
tim asks who is paying for my trip to Russia. How about me for incidentals and a total of $13.50 for tax on a delta frequent flyer ticket? NSF has paid for NONE of my trips. In Sept october 1994 NATO paid for a $620 airplane ticket and I paid $120 to extend it and for all other expenses.

Side note to Gordon Cook based on his contribution earlier: Gordon, just a little barb to you, please do not take it personally, but.. "is your current trip to Russia also funded by the NSF similar to your previous trip"? ( inquiring minds want to know ;-) Whoops! There I go again, standing in the corner, just losing my religion.... Oh well, I said too much, I haven't said enought....
Go stand in the corner, Tim! --Steve G. ____________________________________________ Steve Goldstein, National Science Foundation +1(703)306-1949 Ext. 1119 "Let's not procrastinate until next week!" - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
