<p class="MsoNormal">Just in case you’d like to read DCRM(MSS) before this Saturday’s public hearing at ALA, but you don’t have time to read all of it, we recommend reading the Introduction. You might also look over 1B and 1D, and Area 2 (which is very short),
since those sections are likely to come up in the discussion at the hearing (or so we suppose).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We look forward to your input! See you in Philadelphia,<o:p></o:p></p>
