I'll confirm this.

As a matter of fact, I documented Jim's original 
support for the MoU, his change of position, and
the subsequent attack from the MoU supporters to
the U.S. Government while it was happening.  

While we will never know for certain, I suspect 
that it was at least one reason the U.S. Government 
decided to intervene in this debate.

Keep up the good work Dave, and they will be forced
to do so again ;-(
